Fundraising & Marketing Tools

Helping You Raise Money

Everyday Getting There is asked for help and advice on raising the funds they need.
The causes and projects needing money vary enormously and range from

• individuals and groups of supporters needing help in putting on an event including a fund-raising event
• charities and organisations including univerisities,schools, sports and drama clubs looking for ways of generating revenues, and
• athletes and performers needing help and support to make their dreams happen.

That's why Getting There developed and will keep on developing a suite of tools that will help the causes we work with, no matter what their size.

Web-sites and Blogs

Nowadays having a good-looking and effective web-site is a necessity for any cause looking to raise money or attract sponsors.

We know from experience that web-sites, blogs and the internet scare lots of people. Many of the dedicated people we work with aren't sure how to go about getting a web-site, don't know what to ask for and are often left feeling underwhelmed when a web-site shell is delivered.
That's why Getting There developed a totally unique approach to web-building which in many cases means that for less than the cost of an ad in the local press a cause can have its own web-site up and running.

Blogs too are now an essential way for causes to keep their supporters up-todate

Causes that show they know how to make technology work for them find it easier to attract sponsors and to generate advertising revenues.
In today's terms that means causes in certain fields and of a certain size have to look at mobile technology as well as conventional web-sites.

Getting There's web developers and designers are experienced at providing web sites across all mediums.

Facebook

Facebook is a great way for causes to communicate with their supporters. Getting There can help causes get their facebook pages up and running and on the way to interacting with their supporters.

Events

Getting There works with causes to make their fundraising events a success.

The Getting There team contains specialists in events management. Whether you need help in scoping and event , need some help in designing posters or want an extra pair of legs to help you have the best event ever. We can and do help.

Marketing & PR

Marketing and PR is the key to succesful fundraising.
Good Marketing and PR raises awareness of what you're doing and can win hearts and minds. From experience we know that marketing and PR are too often put on the back-burner whilst causes concentrate on getting on with the job. Whilst this is understandable it can be short-sighted. With Getting There you no longer have to choose between spending time on marketing and PR and getting on with the job.
Whatever your needs Getting There can help.

Grants

There are numerous grants out there that can help causes whether charities or talented people. The problem is that whilst many causes understand this they don't know how to find the grants or to find out if they might be eligible. Getting There's team includes experienced fundraisers who can help causes work out if they qualify for grants. Help doesn't end there Getting There can also help you in completing the applications.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship has so many different meanings and in this section we'll be looking at

• sponsorship where an individual or group are planning to take part in an event such as running the London Marathon, walking from Lands End to John O'Groats, a tennisathon. In this case the individual or group are lookign for people to sponsor them so much per mile, or for completing the event.

In these cases Getting There can help by providing causes with online and downloadable sponsorship forms.

• sponsorship where an organisation, individual or group are looking for other organisations to provide some of the funding they need in return for being advertised or linked to the project needing funding.
  Getting There can help in these cases too.
  
  Getting There's team specialises in helping causes raise funds of less than £50K.
  We do this by helping causes develop a sponsorship proposition and where appropriate approaching potential sponsors on your behalf.
  
  Where the funds being looked for are more than £50K Getting There's partner Sponsorfinder has lots of ideas that can help
