How to Choose a Charity and Causes

When deciding on what charity or cause you would like to support and raise funds for, here are some tips to keep in mind. 

Interests

Consider choosing a charity that reflects something that’s close to your heart.  For instance, following the loss of a family member you may gravitate towards a particular cause, or you may want to support a charity or cause in an area that you’re passionate about.  Check out the list of charities below to get started. 

Registered Charities

One way to ensure that the money you raise always goes directly to the cause that you are supporting is to check if the charity is officially registered.  Contact the charity directly, and speak to them about how best to support them, for instance through a fundraising platform, using sponsorship cards, and depositing funds with them. 

 

Set up a fundraising page 

You can set up your own fundraising page with our fundraising partners GivenGain, and encourage friends and family to donate to your chosen charity or cause there.  You can check out GivenGain’s handy step-by-step guide to setting up a fundraising page here.

Follow Your Heart

Giving is a wonderful experience.  Whichever charity you decide to support will be very appreciative of your support, and the money you raise will go a long way to help them to provide their services and help their cause.  Just follow your heart and you will make a great decision!
