SPONSORSHIP AND FUNDRAISING IDEAS

We want you to raise as much as possible, both to benefit CAP’s clients and to make taking part worthwhile for you. Here are some ideas to get you started...

• Target: Set yourself a target and aim high! Tell people how much money you’re aiming to raise and sponsors will rise to the challenge to help you on your way.
  
  
• Generous people: Ask the people who are likely to be your most generous sponsors to start you off. The next people will often follow suit when others are being so generous.
  
  
• Company Sponsorship: Many companies will match money raised by employees for charities, so be sure to ask. Other companies will happily give a ‘company gift’.
  
  
• Seize every opportunity: Make sure you take your sponsor form with you wherever you go. Friends, family, and colleagues will be happy to help! Think of past colleagues and friends around the country too.
  
  
• Recruit others: Ask close friends or family to fill up a sponsor form with their friends too. If you are doing something challenging, people will be happy to do their bit to help.
  
  

• Justgiving: CAP has teamed up with Justgiving so that you can raise money easily and quickly online. Click here to go to www.justgiving.com/cap/raisemoney to set up your page. Then simply email friends, family and colleagues directly from your Justgiving page to enable them to donate online with a debit card. No more running around with paper sponsor forms chasing people for money after the event!
  
  

• Facebook: This is a great way to let family and friends about konw about your sponsored event. You can even share your Justgiving page on Facebook. Click here to go to www.facebook.com.

Finally remember that this is a great opportunity for you to share with your friends and family about the amazing work of CAP. Once you've received sponsors you'll be encouraged to face your challenge knowing that your friends and family are supporting you all the way.
We wish you all the best with your fundraising!
