FUNDRASING IDEAS YOU CAN DO IN YOUR OFFICE
TALENT CONTEST
Divide your office into teams and set them the task of creating their own team fundraising page and hold an inter-team talent quest 'battle off'. Ask each team to share their story on their fundraising page to encourage donations to their team event.
HAVE A GREEN DAY
Have a 'green day' at work in support for our native wildlife. From green hair, to green smoothies, to a green lunch, or wearing green or decking out your office in green, you can get creative as your office raises funds to support the critical rescue and care of our native wildlife.
THE OFFICE GET FIT CHALLENGE
Get your colleagues or staff to start their own 'get fit' challenge for a month and build some healthy office competition. Encourage them to fundraise for wildlife by setting up their own fundraising page, with the highest fundraiser receiving a company reward!
OFFICE KARAOKE
Break out the mics and belt out the tunes for a good cause. Have the office compete in teams or as individuals and rate performances in terms of a donation on the fundraising page and then determine which one of your colleagues can cover the best version of their favourite '80s ballad.
OFFICE BRING A PLATE
Ask staff to bring a dish and take a break from the usual lunch options grind. Pick a themed lunch and bring the office together for a relaxed lunch. Ask all staff to make a contribution to wildlife to the value of what they usually spend on their lunch if eating out.
