Collect donations online
Fundraising has never been easier! Register online and your own personal webpage will automatically be created (for you and/or your team), use the page to send emails and collect donations online.
Customise your page by adding photos, setting a fundraising goal and communicating your personal message.
Using the online system allows you to:
- Send emails to attract sponsors or thank them for their donation.
- Manage all your fundraising both online and offline.
- Track other individuals / teams progress through the system.
- Recognise and promote your sponsors as they are viewable on your page.
When you are sponsored, you will receive email notification of the donation and your sponsor will receive a receipt via email instantaneously!
Make a little effort go a long way!
Below are some ideas to help you use your web page and maximise your efforts.
Before sending an email…
- Set yourself a fundraising goal! Wouldn’t you be more inclined to donate if the person asking had set themselves a target?
- Sponsor yourself! Show you are prepared to do what you are asking of others.
When sending an email….
- Do not send it on a Friday! People do not open emails as much as they do on a Tuesday or Thursday.
- Send it from your personal email account! Simply ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ the entire email (from the back end of your webpage) into your personal email account.
- Thank the other sponsors that have shown their support! People like to know that others have sponsored you and that it is a team effort helping people with MS.
After sending an email…
- Thank your sponsors! Thank them and let them know how much you have fundraised.
- They do not want to donate online? Contact us for a receipt book!
It’s never too late!
We get more donations every day we get closer to the event. It's never too late to show your support, the week before the event we'll receive as many donations as in the previous 6 weeks so send out an email and help the MS Society help people affected by MS.
