Online Fundraising - My Charity
Fundraising is easy on mycharity.ie. You just go to the home page mycharity.ie and click on “create a fundraising page”. You will then be brought through a short sequence of pages where you:
Choose your event date and name
Choose the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Assoication as your charity
Fill in some details about your fundraising page name and how much money you want to raise.
That's it! Now you just e-mail the link for your page to everyone that you think might like to sponsor you.
It takes less then 5 minutes, and hey presto your fundraising page is live on mycharity.ie for all to see and donate to.
Now you can just sit back and watch the sponsorship roll in!! The monies raised will be transferred straight through to the IMNDA. You can choose to be notified by e-mail every time someone sponsors you or you can just check back on the site every so often to see how quickly your sponsorship amount is growing!
The benefits to you the fundraiser are:
Minimal effort for you – 5 minutes to set up the fundraising page and send out the e-mail.
No sponsorship cards
No contacting potential sponsors individually
No counting cash
No chasing cash from sponsors
No storing cash
No lodging cash
Ability to reach sponsors overseas
Ability to over achieve on your fundraising target – your page is still there for potential sponsors when you have stopped actively fundraising, or even after your event!!
By using mycharity.ie you are also helping the IMNDA because:
There’s no overhead cost to them – the funds raised by you go directly into the IMNDA's bank account.
Funds raised by you are transferred in a shorter time than they would be via traditional fundraising methods.
The IMNDA can reduce their admin overhead by being able to track their fundraising income in real time online via the mycharity.ie website.
