Team QCH Fundraising Tips & FAQs
Joining Team QCH by creating an event or joining an event is the first step towards achieving your fundraising goal!
Our top fundraising tip is: Just ask! The more people you ask to support you or join you, the more money you will raise. When you tell people about your event and share your own personal story of why you are raising money for Queensway Carleton Hospital, you might surprise yourself at how many people will support your effort!
Double your donations. Many companies have matching gifts programs in which they will match a donation made by employees and retirees. Ask your supporters if their company has a matching gifts program.
Our online fundraising system gets amazing results. We support you every step of the way as you ask family, friends and coworkers to join or donate to your Team QCH event.
