Fundraising
A life-changing walk,
for people all over the world.
By raising money for Oxfam, you’re making a tremendous difference to the lives of people impacted by poverty. Each step you take can help communities change their future for the better. The more you know about Oxfam’s work and where your fundraising dollars go, the easier it will be to ask for donations. Learn more about the difference you can make, or contact us for more information.
Fundraising is not only rewarding, it can also be great fun!
Fundraising in six easy steps
1. Personalise your very own FUNDRAISING page
Log into your dashboard – your dynamic online Trailwalker portal. Make it your own — upload photos of your training walks or fundraising activities and share updates. Send the link to your contacts or share on social media. Keep your friends and family up to date on your challenge and to ask for support.
2. Ask for support
You are doing something extraordinary and people will want to support you! Ask your friends, family and colleagues to support your Oxfam Trailwalker challenge by sharing your Trailwalker page link on socials, email or SMS.
We have lots of great resources to help you out including our Social Media Tips and Fundraising Guide which provide practical fundraising advice on how to get started.
3. Host an event
Hosting an event is a great way to connect with family and friends while fundraising for your Oxfam Trailwalker challenge. You can make it as simple or involved as you like — from a workplace morning tea to a trivia night with friends. Fundraisers can be an effective way to raise money and say thanks to those who are supporting your journey.
4. Become a Trailblazer
Extraordinary fundraisers, people who raise $1,000 or teams who raise $4,500, join the Oxfam Trailwalker Trailblazers Club. As a Trailblazer, you receive special rewards and benefits as thanks for your commitment to tackling inequality. Do you think you have what it takes to be a Trailblazer?
5. Match funding, corporate support and sponsorship
Many employers offer ‘match funding’ programs to encourage their staff to support charitable organisations such as Oxfam Australia. This could double the amount you raise in one go, so ask your HR Manager whether your company offers such a program. Find out more about match funding.
You can also ask a local business to sponsor your team. Ask for financial support or for ‘gifts in kind’ for fundraising prizes. In return, you could acknowledge their support by having their logo printed on your t-shirts or posted on your Trailwalker page.
6. Thank your donors
Be sure to thank your donors. When logged into your dashboard you can thank them via Facebook or sending them a message. Let donors know how you’re going with your challenge.
