Virtual fundraising ideas for schools
Everybody loves a pub quiz, and they work surprisingly well virtually. Offer to come up with a multi-round quiz, with one round themed around the cause you’re raising money for, and act as the quiz master for the night. Get those taking part to donate the price of a drink towards your GoFundMe fundraiser.
Kids love video games. Why not host a gameathon whereby pupils take each other on at their favourite video games all day long. You can host a livestream so family and friends can watch along and donate to your fundraiser while they are at it.
Why not raise funds and get fit at the same time. Host a virtual fitness challenge, this could include setting your class a target of running 100km collectively in a month and asking friends and family to sponsor them. There’s nothing like a bit of competition to get students motivated, offer a prize for the student who runs the most and raises the most in a certain amount of time. Encourage students to set up individual fundraisers to get friends and family to donate and keep a tally each week of who is winning.
Get your school fundraiser off the ground
No need to waste time figuring out how to go about raising funds for your school event, class trip, programme, club or worthy cause. Get the ball rolling with a crowdfunding fundraiser on GoFundMe — because it has a 0% platform fee for organisers, you get to keep more of the funds you raise. We also offer a wealth of resources and unique fundraising ideas. If you haven’t already launched your school fundraiser, create your fundraiser today.
Note: to create a GoFundMe account, you must be at least 13 years old and have your parent or guardian’s permission.
