Fundraising Tip # 12 – Fundraise at work!

Bring your fundraising to the workplace. Contact your Human Resources department to see if your company has a matching program to supplement your pledges. You can also encourage team members and other donors to ask their companies as well, because many will not be aware of this option and it can easily double your fundraising total! Besides, even if a company doesn’t have a gift matching program, they may still be willing to support your cause.

Here are some other great ways to fundraise at work:

·         Keep a spare change jar on your desk and encourage your fellow employees to donate. Any little bit helps! And remember to clearly mark that all proceeds will be going towards your participation in an upcoming MS Bike event.

·         Ask your HR department if they would be willing to allow a dress down day for employees who make a donation in the amount of your choice towards your fundraising efforts.
