Froglife
actively encourages everyone to take part in the hands-on
conservation of amphibians and reptiles - this can include
raising funds so our work can continue.
Raising
money for Froglife is a great way of supporting the conservation
work we undertake and is so important for helping to keep us
going! Plus it can raise awareness of amphibians and
reptiles and the ongoing threats that they face.
Froglife is registered on a
number of online giving sites, just click on the buttons below.
Whether you want to raise sponsorship with Virgin Money Giving,
set up an online piggy bank to collect your small change with
Ploink, raise funds while you shop or search the web with Give
as you Live or hold a sponsored dinner party with Dinner 4 Good,
these are the places to go...
Hold a bring-and-buy sale, raffle, coffee morning or cake sale.
If you’re feeling more ambitious, why not host a fundraising
evening and auction items from local businesses?
Ask for a small donation (e.g. 50p or £1) from everyone at your school/office in return for not wearing their normal clothes, for
example non-uniform day, ‘wear something green day’ or even
‘dress as your favourite amphibian or reptile’ day!
Organise a hopping frog contest (using plastic or origami
frogs!) at your local fete or turn a sports day into the Dragon
Olympics – with prizes for the longest leap (long jump), the
highest hop (high jump) and the fastest movement without legs
(sack race)!
Individuals or teams can complete local fun-runs, cycles or
swims, or you could organise your own event, such as sponsored
hop or leap-frog. If you're feeling ambitious you could take on
that challenge you've always dreamed about, like climbing a
mountain or doing a parachute jump. Froglife can help by
providing
sponsorship forms and ideas for promoting your activity. You
can also use Virgin Money Giving to collect your sponsorship
money for Froglife online - click on the icon above to find out
more.
Open garden
Whether you've got a wild haven for wildlife or a more formal
green space you can guarantee there will be people interested in
coming to take a look. People love to see what others have done
in their own backyards - for inspiration or just to be nosy! -
and by charging a small entrance fee (or suggested donation) you
can easily raise a few pounds. This could be a regular thing or
a one off event including other gardens in the area.
The best fundraising ideas are fun, and tell a really good
story. If people know why you’re so committed to raising money,
they’re much more likely to put their hand in their pocket. If
you're thinking about raising money for Froglife please let us
know, even if your ideas are at a very early stage. We can
provide information and resources that might be useful.
If you're interested in raising money for Froglife
we'd be delighted to hear from you. You can email Samantha
Taylor, Deputy CEO:
sam.taylor@froglife.org or phone 01733 425822.
