FUNDRAISING FOR MWF

We’re delighted that you want to fundraise for MWF and help with our life affirming work around the world. You can start from going through our fundraising toolkit and resources.

Promote Your Fundraising

Spread the word

Now you’ve decided to get involved and fundraise, you’ll need to start spreading the word about what you’re doing to raise money through your social media and contacting your local media.

MWF is supported entirely by your donations so the more people who know about your fundraising, the more you could raise to help make a lasting difference.

Use social media

You can use social media to promote your event, let people know why you’re fundraising for MWF and boost your donations.
