Team Fundraising Ideas

Host a Group Event:

  • Organize a trivia night or karaoke competition at a local venue with proceeds going to the cause.
  • Host a neighborhood dinner party or cook-off where donations are the “ticket” to enter.
  • Plan a group workout or fitness class with a local instructor.

Leverage Social Media Challenges

  • Create a team-specific social media challenge (e.g., share funny team trail pictures or individual happy moments on the trail)
  • Offer a fun dare or activity when a donation milestone is hit (e.g., team captains get hit with a pie).

Create Mini Challenges Within the Team

  • Challenge team members to see who can secure the most donations in a week.
  • Set internal milestones (e.g., “If we raise $500 this week, team captains wear costumes for an entire club meeting!).

Promote Matching Gifts

  • Remind donors to check if their employers offer matching gift programs and double their contributions.  
  • Encourage team members to share this info on their fundraising pages.
