6 Online donation platforms
Fundraising platforms such as JustGiving and GoFundMe are perfect for raising money, either for a particular project or event, or as an ongoing boost to your fundraising. We recommend setting up an online profile with lots of information and photos of your PTA, and then sharing the link far and wide on your social media channels, newsletters and WhatsApp groups. Regularly remind your supporters that if they fancy fundraising for your PTA independently, for example with a charity run, they can do it easily through your chosen online platform.

7 Wish lists
Some people prefer to support a charity by purchasing items rather than giving money, so they know exactly how their contributions are making a difference. You can create public wish lists on websites such as Amazon, and the items will be delivered straight to a member of your PTA or the school. Alternatively, you can create a public document, perhaps on Google Docs, with items your PTA or school needs. Speak with the school first to make sure you’ re only including things they truly need on the wish list, and that they ' re okay to receive deliveries. Remember to share the impact these items have with your supporters to encourage more people to get involved.
