Have a browse through some ideas below. Then, once you’ve filled in our online form or gotten in touch, we’ll get right back to you to help plan your event and help in any way we can with T-Shirts, printed sponsorship forms, posters, or images.
Challenge yourself: Make it as easy or as difficult as you like! Do a SkyDive, Give Up Coffee for a month, or Walk 100K in Week, and get friends, family and work colleagues to sponsor you. All of the money you raise will go directly towards helping the thousands of sick, injured, abandoned and abused animals that need our help each year.
If You Like to Move It! Run, jog, walk, swim, sail, climb, cycle, golf, swing a racket or kick a ball. Whatever your favourite sporting activity, why not turn it into a fundraiser? You can make it a time or distance challenge or get multiple people or teams involved and compete! Whatever you decide to do to turn it into a fundraiser, everyone’s a winner! You’ll have lots of fun, get fitter and be helping save vulnerable animals.
Bake Sale or Coffee Morning: A bake sale at home or at work is a lovely way to raise funds. Ask everyone to bake or bring something and then in exchange for a donation they can buy something to take home. Or turn it into a coffee morning with a donation required to attend – a wonderful excuse to spoil everyone with a sweet get together at home or at work.
Birthday Gift: Instead of presents, why not ask friends and family to make a gift to the NSPCA? This is a gift that will last a lifetime for an animal in need. We guarantee it will be one of the best gifts you have ever received, or your friends and family have ever given.
You can turn your special day into a gift for animals in need by setting up a birthday fundraiser for the NSPCA on iDonate. It’s quick and easy:
Every euro you raise will go directly towards rescuing, caring for and rehoming animals across Ireland.
