EVERYONE'S A FUNDRAISER | share your wildest fundraising ideas
EVERYONE'S A FUNDRAISER | share your wildest fundraising ideas
In April we opened a virtual idea box! We're calling it the Everyone-is-a-Fundraiser-idea-box!
After all, we are the World Wildlife Fund for Nature. In other words, no funds, no impact. Fundraising is core to our existence as an organisation. From our map (above), and workshops during February and March (video below), it's clear that we have tons of innovative fundraising campaigns, products and partnerships happening across the globe. To build on all that great work, we’re calling on all pandas to share their wildest fundraising ideas. Share your ideas here. Or, call upon fellow pandas to share their individual or corporate fundraising ideas using our communications toolkit.
Anything can be a wild idea. From sustainably-crafted Panda beer 🍻, to a (ticketed) travelling exhibition 📸of our field work, to selling eco-psychology experiences such as forest bathing 🌳 + 🛁, to collaborations with artists writing songs 🎼 to 'solve' climate challenges. These are just a few of the many wonderful ideas being shared.
