Spring into Action: Easter Fundraising Ideas for Charities and Non-profits

Spring brings with it a sense of renewal, hope, and community, making it the perfect backdrop for fundraising efforts.

Whether you’re looking to raise funds for a specific cause or simply aiming to engage your supporters, we have gathered some creative Easter fundraising ideas to consider.

GoodHub’s Easter Fundraising Ideas

Easter Brunch or Dinner Fundraiser

Partner with a local restaurant or catering service to host an Easter brunch or dinner event. Guests can purchase tickets to enjoy a delicious meal, with a portion of the proceeds going to your cause. To enhance the experience, you could include activities like egg decorating or a visit from the Easter bunny. Here’s how to make it appealing:

• Negotiate with the venue to allocate a portion of the ticket sales or proceeds from specific menu items to your cause.
• Promote the event through social media, email newsletters, and local community groups.
• Consider adding entertainment or activities such as live music or a photo booth to make the event memorable.
• Encourage attendees to bring friends and family to increase attendance and fundraising potential.

Easter Bake Sale

Tap into the culinary talents of your supporters by organising an Easter-themed bake sale. Encourage volunteers to bake and donate treats such as cookies, cupcakes, and cakes decorated with Easter motifs. Host the sale at a high-traffic location, such as a local market or shopping centre. Here’s how to make it successful:

• Recruit volunteers to bake and donate treats.
• Set up a visually appealing display with Easter-themed decorations and signage.
• Offer a variety of baked goods at different price points to cater to all budgets.
• Encourage volunteers to engage with customers and share information about your cause.

Easter Craft Fair

Organise a craft fair featuring local artisans and vendors selling Easter-themed crafts, artwork, and handmade goods. Charge vendors a fee to participate and consider adding a silent auction or raffle to further boost fundraising efforts. Here’s how to organise it:

• Reach out to local artisans and vendors to secure booth space at the fair.
• Charge vendors a registration fee or a percentage of their sales to participate.
• Promote the event through social media, local newspapers, and community bulletin boards.
• Consider offering hands-on craft activities or workshops for attendees to participate in.

Easter Charity Gift Cards

Create Easter-themed charity gift cards that supporters can purchase and give as gifts to friends and family. The recipient can then redeem the gift card by donating to your organisation. Here’s how to implement them:

• Design digital gift cards with Easter-themed graphics and messaging.
• Promote the gift cards as a unique Easter gift idea through your organisation’s page and social media channels.
• Offer different denominations to accommodate various donation amounts.

Easter Fundraising Challenge

Launch a fundraising challenge leading up to Easter, such as a “hop-a-thon” or “eggcellent challenge.” Participants can set personal fundraising goals and encourage their networks to donate. Here’s how to organise it:

• Set a fundraising goal and timeframe for the challenge.
• Encourage participants to create personalised fundraising pages to track their progress and collect donations.
• Provide resources and tips to help participants reach their fundraising goals.
• Recognise and reward top fundraisers with prizes or special incentives.
