Fundraise

Want to make a difference? Want to take on a challenge?

Fundraising should be a challenging but fun experience. Below we’ll give you information, inspiration, resources and tips to ensure your fundraising experience is a good one.

What Can I Fundraise for?

Zest4Kidz works with children in Belarus, India & Uganda. Why not join one of our campaigns, or fundraise for children in a specific country? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Tips for fundraising:

(1) Set a goal and a timeline.

(2) Tell people where the money will go. 

(3) Use video to mobilize (youtube or vimeo)

(4) Don’t just encourage people to donate, encourage them to fundraise.
