Planning your fundraising
Step 1. Pick something to do
If it's your first event, keep in simple and start with what you know. If you're an old-hand at putting on events, you could try something more adventurous. Contact your Regional Engagement Manager for more ideas and support.
Take part in an existing event
We have events happening throughout the year including Oxjam, Trailwalker, running, cycling and more.
You could always link up with your Local Fundraising Group.
2. Plan your event
You can start by ordering a fundraising pack which will give you most of the materials you need. If you need anything extra, like such as tins or buckets, posters, balloons, stickers by calling 0300 200 1300 or emailing fundraising@oxfam.org.uk or getting in touch with your local Regional Fundraising Manager. Downloadable versions of these materials can be found here.
- You can read advice for keeping it safe and legal here.
- Set up an Oxfam online fundraising page.
- If you are getting sponsored to do something, you can find some sponsorship advice here.
- Have you got a question? Our fundraising FAQ might answer that for you or give us a call or email.
3. Promote your event
- Make your own Oxfam branded poster with our downloadable poster templates.
- Find advice on getting people to your event.
4. Enjoy your event
Congratulations, you've made it to the big day. Take lots of photos, we'd love to see them and remember that you are saving lives. To see the impact of your fundraising visit our impact page.
5. Pay in your fundraising
Paying in your fundraising online
If you raised money doing your own fundraiser you can pay it in online using our general fundraising donation form. It is quick, easy and secure!
Pay by post
To pay by post please send a cheque, made payable to 'Oxfam' with a Paying-in form.
Pay by phone
To pay your fundraising over the phone please call our Supporter Relations team on 0300 200 1300 and they'll be happy to help.
Online fundraising pages
If you've set up an Oxfam online fundraising page, the money donated by your sponsors will automatically be sent to us - you don't have to do a thing! Just encourage as many people as you can to make a donation on your page. Set up a page here.
