Here are some helpful tips for reaching your fundraising targets:

• Set targets and a plan to achieve them
• Set yourself a series of targets – start with $500 prior to the event, then add another $500 during the event. It is amazing how quickly you can reach your first target.
• Use your network of family and friends and work colleagues to get the word out about your event
• Don’t leave your fundraising until the day of your Breakfast. It can start well before then.
• Try to organise some sort of donation matching activity such as a workplace gift matching scheme or a donation from a local business.
• Don’t just wait for others to donate, be upfront and ask for their support – most people are willing to help you if it is for a good cause! Suggest an amount or a scale of amounts rather than people choosing the amounts.
• Focus on raising funds online – the easiest way to communicate, collect and receipt the donations.
• Let people know what they are supporting when they make a donation to your efforts!
