As long as there are children living in poverty and facing inequity, every day is Red Nose Day

Child poverty has long been a crisis, but right now it is nothing short of an emergency. A gift of any size can protect children facing poverty from the ripple effects of COVID-19.

We need your support to help give children living in the most vulnerable communities across the U.S. and around the world a chance at a better life and a brighter future.

Even when the unpredictable happens, like the crisis of COVID-19, your ongoing support helps give children living in the most vulnerable communities across the U.S. and around the world a chance at a better life and a brighter future.

A monthly gift goes even further, because giving a little each month adds up to big change.

The money you raise will help change the lives of children in the most underserved communities across the US and around the world. 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:

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 this is your first time fundraising online, click CREATE ACCOUNT

Next, follow the simple steps to:

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

Just follow the steps to connect your page and before you know it, you’ll be boosting your reach to raise even more money towards your fundraising goal! Best of all, the money you raise on your Red Nose Day fundraising page AND on Facebook will be tracked in sync on both pages!

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, make sure you share it with your friends and family so that they can donate! Post the link on social media, send around an email, or even send a text. Make sure they know why the cause is important to you, and how they can support it too!
