Create Your Own Fundraising Web Page
Online fundraising is a quick and easy way to collect funds for a special event or activity. It makes it easy to raise money for the Euan MacDonald Centre by creating your own online fundraising page. Doing this means friends, colleagues and relatives have the chance to make online donations to you using a debit or credit card, all via our secure payment system.It's also really easy to reclaim the gift aid, making their donations worth 28p more for each £1, at no cost to them.
To begin creating your own fundraising page, firstly click on one of the following options:
- Sponsorship
If you have organised a charity event or activity, you can set up a sponsorship form to get your friends and family to sponsor you. - Celebration
Instead of gifts, why not ask people to donate money to your cause using this online form? - In Memoriam
This online form can be used to take donations in memory of a loved one. - Personal Fundraising
You don’t need a reason to raise funds for the Centre, use this form to ask friends and family to donate.
Please also remember to let us know about your plans by emailing development@ed.ac.uk or telephoning 44 (0) 131 650 2240.
If you are having problems creating your fundraising page or would like to discuss your activities with a member of the University fundraising team, please contact us and we will be glad to assist.
Organise an Event
It’s easy to raise funds for us by organising your own activity. Whether you’re planning to fundraise on your own, with your family or friends, at school, work or in a local club, whatever you do will make a difference to the Euan MacDonald Centre and its work.We have already received generous support from friends who have organised special events. Here are a few examples:
- Lachlan Watson, from Aberdeen, organised a charity football match and raised almost £1000. Find out more.
- Leanne Barclay has organised a skydive with her aunt, after her father lived with MND for nearly six years, while her mother, Lynsey, is holding a Golf Day. Find out more.
- Mrs Ellice Miller celebrated her 80th birthday and decided to ask friends and family to donate money to the Euan MacDonald Centre, rather than give her gifts.
- Lady Mathewson raised £14,000 by organising a fashion show in support of the Euan MacDonald Centre.
