Raising money through organised fundraising events can be hard work but they can also be fun and a good way of raising money quickly. They also provide great opportunities for publicity to raise the profile of the organisation and to attract new members or supporters.
Most funders like to see some evidence that you are trying to help yourselves before they give you anything: so fundraising events and activities can help your credibility.
Whatever sort of group you are, big or small, old or new, it is likely that you will have to do some of your own fundraising. Sometimes, there may be no other way of raising the money.
