Want to make a difference? Fundraising for a charity is one of the most rewarding ways to support a cause you care about. But where do you start? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Here’s your ultimate guide on how to fundraise for a charity like a pro while keeping it fun, effective, and impactful. We, also, have useful tips from FutureSense Foundation Fundraisers!
Before you start asking for donations, make sure your fundraising page is set up for success. This means:
✔ Adding a great picture – People connect with faces and emotions, so make it personal.
✔ Telling your story – Share why you are passionate about this cause. What inspired you to fundraise?
✔ Using a reliable platform – At FutureSense Foundation, we use Enthuse to make fundraising easy and transparent.
💡 Top Tip: Don’t just set up your page and forget about it. Keep updating it with progress, milestones, and thank-you messages to keep people engaged!
Now that your page is ready, it’s time to spread the word. And no, we don’t mean just telling your mum and best friend (although they should definitely be on your list!).
✅ Where to share your page:
🔊 Lachlan’s Top Tip: “Lean on those closest to you – they know you, believe in you and understand why this cause matters. They’ll be proud to support, share, and help turn your fundraising efforts into real impact!”
People are more likely to donate when they understand the impact of their contribution. Make sure you can confidently explain why you’re fundraising and where the money is going.
At FutureSense Foundation, our vision is to create a world where even the most rural communities can achieve their aspirations for a better future. We support education, health, and livelihood programmes to create sustainable, long-term change.

👩🏫 Megan’s Top Tip: “ I would say to anyone fundraising to spread the word about your fundraising using your social media and explain about the cause their money is going to in as much detail as possible.”
A clear goal gives people motivation to help you reach it! Whether it’s £50, £500, or £1,000, setting a target makes fundraising feel more achievable.
✔ Why set a goal?
💌 Pro Tip: Break your goal into smaller milestones and celebrate every win – whether it’s your first £50 or your halfway mark!

🗣 Molly’s top tip: “My top tip for other fundraisers would be to look out for other events which are already taking place in your local community.”
