The Ultimate Guide to Fundraising Your Way

Fundraising is an incredible way to spread awareness about Red Nose Day and multiply your impact for children facing poverty.

The money you raise will help change the lives of children in most need, who are now more vulnerable than ever because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's some charity fundraising ideas for you to start now!

Step 1: Choose a way to fundraise

You can join forces with one of our featured fundraisers like the Movie Marathon team or fundraise by coming up with something special and unique!

Here are just a few virtual fundraising ideas to get you started:

Movie Marathon

How-To Guide

Whether you choose to binge your favorite film franchise (Harry Potter, anyone?) or want to come up with your own fun theme — join the Official Movie Marathon Team.

Celebration Fundraiser

Get Started

Got a birthday or anniversary coming up? Instead of gifts, ask family and friends to donate instead.

Virtual Party

Get Started

Hold a virtual happy hour or dance party! Invite friends to donate to your fundraiser in exchange for the link to your video conference call. Set up a fun party playlist and encourage others to BYOB.

Share Your Skills

Get started

Are you a fitness fanatic, expert baker, or just really good at teaching TikTok dances? Whatever your special skill, raise money for Red Nose Day by asking friends and family to donate to attend a virtual class!

Step 2: Start an online giving page

It only takes a minute to create your own personal fundraising page! Here is everything you need to know. Click here to get started.

If you fundraised for Red Nose Day last year, click LOG IN

If this is your first time fundraising online, click CREATE ACCOUNT

Next, follow the simple steps to: 

  • Set a fundraising goal - you can change this at any time! 

  • Create a custom link to your fundraising page that's memorable and easy to share! (for example: Fundraise.RedNoseDay.org/MarysFundraiser)

  • Upload a profile photo and customize your page


Step 3: Check out our digital fundraising resources

Customize our fundraiser email template and sample social media posts to tell your friends and family that you’re raising money for Red Nose Day.

We’ve also got stats about child poverty (and how Red Nose Day helps) so you can spread awareness and inspire your network to donate to your fundraising page. You can check out the fundraising resources here.

Step 4: Share, share, share

As soon as you finish creating your page, you’ll get an email from Red Nose Day to unlock your digital Red Nose. Share your digital Red Nose selfie along with a link to your Red Nose Day fundraising page! When your supporters donate to your page, they’ll unlock the digital Red Nose too.
