Fundraising can be a daunting task but there are lots of tools available to help you meet your target.
By setting up an online giving account you can make it easy for your supporters to donate using their debit/credit card. Habitat is a member of various organisations that offer ‘on-line giving’, here are some we would recommend.
JustGiving is the UK’s most popular online fundraising website. It takes just 60 seconds to get up and running and the site makes sure you have all the tools you need to create your page. You can write out your personal fundraising story, add photos and even video and colour to your page.
You can get tips on the best ways, old and new, to share your page with more people including the new Just Giving app for Facebook, making it easy to share your fundraising not just with your friends – but with their friends too.
