Fundraising
Income generation and fundraising team
We provide help and advice to branches and animal centres for all your fundraising needs, forward initiatives and best practice. We also recommend the appropriate method of grant aid and provide retail advice and support for charity shops.
How can we help you?
We can provide advice on donor care, legalities, regular giving and branding, or click to download the gift aid declaration form (DOC 32KB). Read some of our online factsheets below to give you advice and tips from coffee mornings and competitions to selling on eBay.
It is important you keep your branch support specialist advised of your activities so please contact them in the first instance. They will then either consult us themselves or ask you to call Wendy on 0300 123 0476 / email wwasels@rspca.org.uk or another member of the fundraising team directly.
Thinking of holding a fundraising event?
Whether you are organising your own branch event or taking part in a skydive, running event or overseas challenge, call Katie for ideas or information on 0300123 0342 or email kguiel@rspca.org.uk. Download a sponsored events form (DOC 204KB) or click to find more information on our national website here.
Do you need help with a grant?
If you would like support acquiring funds from grant awarding bodies such as local trusts and foundations or corporates please complete the Grant Support Enquiry Form. This form is designed to reduce the amount of questions that I will need to ask during the application and to ensure we find the most suitable funder.
Please do not think it needs to be a massive project, it could be for anything. A grant could go towards to the purchase of equipment, starting a neutering scheme, or to go towards a larger capital project. Alternatively if you want some advice then please contact me on 0300 123 0337 or email dabaker@rspca.org.uk. So please do not hesitate to contact me and I will try my upmost to get your branch awarded a grant.
Do you want to open a shop?
Thinking of opening a shop in your branch area? Call Julia on 0300 123 0142 or email jbrown@rspca.org.uk for help and advice. Alternatively contact your local retail consultant, or ask Julia for their details. Have a look at the Charity Shops map (PDF 1273KB) to see where the shops are in your area.
