Fundraising to generate new supporters and raising awareness of the cause

Justlife is a charity advocating for people who are hidden homeless and living in temporary accommodation. Nationally, our work identifies and advocates for much needed long term solutions to hidden homelessness. Locally, our service supports people experiencing homelessness in temporary accommodation with welfare, health and housing needs. All our work is aimed at making stays in temporary accommodation as short, safe and healthy as possible. How can we create a successful fundraising event to generate new supporters to Justlife and raise awareness of our important local cause? Especially in current climes, we are facing challenges with engaging with local businesses, organisations and individuals to support our work. We would like to collaborate with students to plan a fundraising event to help meet our goals. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with our mission, values and goals. Considering how they might attract 50-100 new local supporters to our cause through an initiative or a fundraising event. Considering methods you could use to convert these new supporters to support financially on a long term basis. Considering what methods of engagement you could try with these supporters, via our website, newsletters, face to face, and other ideas. Creating a plan of action and a detailed breakdown of tasks for volunteers to complete at the event.
