Fundraise

 

We are delighted you are interested in helping to raise funds for ASH Animal Rescue! Your time, effort, and contributions will allow ASH Animal Rescue to provide care for all the animals in our care. There are a few different options to fundraise for us:

Patriciate in a panned event

There are plenty of planned events where you can fundraise for ASH Animal Rescue like the Women’s Mini Marathon, the Wicklow Half Marathon, the Dublin City Marathon or if you like a different type of challenge why not try one of the Hell and Back events. 

​

You can create an online fundraising page on iDonate.

​

Your family and friends can make donations directly to your fundraising page using their laser or credit card so you don’t have to do cash collections from them. These companies will give the money directly to ASH Animal Rescue.

Organise your own event

Here are a few guidelines to help you plan your special fundraising event in aid of ASH Animal Rescue:

​

  • Set the date and location. Schedule your event for a day, time and location that provides you with plenty of time to plan and promote it properly.

  • Draw up a list of jobs to be done.

  • Set fundraising goals and a budget. It is important you know all your costs before embarking on an event. This will help you monitor your expenses. It will also help you determine your fundraising goals. The lower your cost, the higher the contribution.

  • If you can, find a volunteer for each of the jobs.

  • Determine how money will be collected and handled.

  • Determine legal, insurance, liability, permit and safety issues you may need to address. ASH Animal Rescue will not be responsible for insurance, permit, etc and cannot accept liability for any accidents.

  • Develop a publicity/promotion plan. Flyers, posters and other promotional materials will help generate awareness and excitement about your event.
