Top Justgiving tips
1. Ensure all supporters create fundraising pages
We work on the principle that it is an expectation that anyone taking part in an event will set up a Justgiving page

We hope our one-pager gives our supporters enough handy hints to ensure their Justgiving page works well for them.
We've raised almost 50% more through Justgiving this year so far, so maybe the one-pager is working!

7 ways to engage supporters online
• Engagement is more than just a ‘donate now’ button
• It’s about building relationships with supporters
• Reaching out to people in their online world
• Go to where your supporters are, don’t expect them to come to you
• Hard to measure, may not reap immediate returns
• The investment is time more than money
• If you do it, do it well – be authentic

This particular trek raised £60,000 of which £23,000 (even excluding Gift Aid) came in online, which wouldn’t have been raised otherwise
This core audience wasn’t completely familiar with the internet and we wanted to let them know all that the internet has to offer in terms of online sponsorship.
Christian Aid performed a detailed analysis of their 2006 events and found that the event ‘In the footsteps of Moses’, a trek through the Egyptian Sinai desert, had not generated any income online.
The reason for this became clear when it was discovered that the age range of the participants for this event was between fifty and seventy.
