Pledge your Birthday
Instead of receiving gifts this year, use your special day to raise funds and awareness. Learn how to start a fundraiser in Facebook.
Fitness Challenge
You can turn your marathon running, bike racing, love for yoga or Zumba partying into a fundraiser.
Team Building Events
Create a fundraiser, and invite your coworkers to join. For example, Vancity Foundation staff organized a Gingerbread House contest.
Host a Music Event
Put on an event by donation. For example, Kids In Motion asks for donations to attend their annual dance recital, instead of selling tickets.
The Wedding Pledge
In lieu of gifts at their wedding, Drew & Sophie asked for donations to help youth succeed.
The Lemonade Stand
Teach philanthrophy early on, and get the kids involved. Bake sales and lemonade stands are an easy way to start.
