We’ll help you promote it!
Thank you for your interest in raising money for Lund! Creating your own fundraiser is a great way to involve your friends, family, and colleagues in raising money to support our organization.
Whether you plan to hold a bake sale, school event, auction, or any type of fundraising event for us, know that we appreciate your support. We literally couldn’t continue our work without people like you!
In order to prevent any misunderstandings, we would like to clarify our guidelines and expectations. Listed below are some general guidelines that will be helpful when planning an event.

- Help promote the event on our website, E-News, and social media channels

- Suggest ways to help you market your event
- Provide a solicitation letter template (including a link for on-line donations) that you can customize and use for seeking contributions by mail or e-mail
- Accept credit card donations
- Send acknowledgment letters to donors (you have to give us their contact information)
- When possible, help you create a fundraising webpage connected to Lund for the event so that attendees can donate and/or register online

What Lund Cannot Do
