Tips for the Perfect Fundraising Page

1. Tell Your Story

Start by sharing the story behind your fundraising. Whether you’re honouring someone’s memory, taking on a challenge, or marking a special occasion — explain why you’re fundraising and why these causes matter to you.

A heartfelt description helps people connect with your page. Be authentic, and let your personality come through. If you're supporting multiple charities, explain why you've chosen them and how each one is meaningful to you.

Don't forget to add a photo — whether it’s of you, your team, or something relevant to your cause. A personal image makes your page more engaging and helps supporters feel more connected to your story.

2. Choose and Explain Your Charities

One of GiveWheel’s most powerful features is multi-charity fundraising. You can select up to 10 UK-registered charities and allocate donation percentages between them however you like.

Be transparent about why you’ve chosen each charity. Just a sentence or two per organisation helps supporters see the full picture — and can increase trust and engagement.

3. Connect with Your Donors and Keep Them Updated

Building a strong connection with your supporters is key to a successful fundraising campaign. Once your page is live, use the updates feature to share progress, post thank-you messages, and highlight milestones. Whether you're training for an event, marking an anniversary, or simply seeing donations roll in, regular updates help maintain momentum and keep people engaged.

You can also use your page to explain how donations are making a difference — especially powerful when fundraising for multiple charities. Let your donors know where their money is going, and the collective impact it's having across your chosen causes.

4. Set a Clear and Motivating Target

A fundraising goal gives people a tangible target to work toward — and it can motivate more donations. With multiple charities involved, you can show how the total raised will be distributed, and what impact it will have across your chosen causes.

If you exceed your initial goal, don’t be afraid to raise it — it's a great way to keep the momentum going.

5. Make Donating and Sharing Effortless

The easier you make it to donate, the more likely people are to give — and share.

GiveWheel simplifies the process with:

  • A single donation page supporting multiple charities
  • QR codes and shareable links for quick access
  • Gift Aid automatically collected (where eligible)
  • Fast, secure donations and automatic disbursement

You can also encourage others to share your page, helping to grow awareness and boost your total.
