We truly appreciate all of your efforts
Every step you take, every conversation you start and every dollar that you raise is helping to spread the R U OK? message and start more life-changing conversations, and we couldn't be more grateful.
For those fundraisers who go above and beyond and raise over $500 we'll send you a special R U OK? Supporter Pack.
And if you raise over $1000 you will receive an R U OK? Trophy and a place in our Hall of Fame.
How to smash your fundraising goals!
Personalise your page
It's your page - so own it!
Add a profile picture so everyone can see it's you.
And, if you have a personal story of why R U OK? is important to you, and you’re comfortable sharing your story, please do.
It’s not a secret
Make sure everyone knows what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Be sure to share updates – and they don’t all have to be asking for donations. You could share photos or videos of your training and preparation or share some R U OK? resources.
Start the Ball Rolling
By making the first donation to your page you're showing others that you are dedicated to the cause.
Your friends and family are also more likely to make a donation if somebody else has already made the first donation.
Don’t be afraid to ask
Most people will be delighted to support you and R U OK?
But, it usually takes a few asks before people actually donate. So, make sure you get your reps in – ask a few times and in different ways – email / phone / in person / as well as social media.
Start small
Start off by asking your close friends or family (people you know will support you) to make a donation.
Once you’ve got a few donations you can start asking a wider group wider group.
Show your gratitude
Make sure to thank every donor for their support, this could be a phone call, email or post on social media.
A post showing your progress and tagging your latest donors to thank them is a great way to increase interest and show your gratitude at the same time.
Get social
Social media is the simplest way to reach a wide audience
Email is also a great way to ask your friends and workmates for a donation.
And don’t forget the power of conversation – you can always drop into a chat that you’re fundraising and let your friends know why you’re passionate about R U OK?
Be Resourceful
We have lots of different R U OK? resources to help you raise awareness as well as donations.
