Fundraise
Tools and Tips
These resources are here to make your fundraising efforts a success. Please contact the Fundraising Team on 0207 422 5544 or email fundraising@sane.org.uk if you need help with any aspect of your project.
Online fundraising page
Setting up an online fundraising page via JustGiving is quick and easy. It is the most effective way of collecting money from people who want to support your efforts for SANE. You can personalise the page with photographs, stories and explain why you support SANE.

Gift Aid
Ensure your fundraising efforts go even further by asking anyone making a donation to Gift Aid it. For every £1 donated we can claim an extra 25 pence from the Inland Revenue, providing the person making the donation pays an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April to 5 April) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities or Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) they donate to will reclaim on their gifts. Download a Gift Aid declaration.
If you are taking part in a sponsored event, download a sponsorship form and ask those supporting you to put a tick in the Gift Aid box. Choosing Gift Aid means that on a donation of £10.00 we can reclaim an extra £2.50 from HMRC, at no extra cost to you or your supporters.

Text SANE
You can donate £3 by texting SANE to 70300. £3 will enable us to respond to someone in distress with high-quality emotional support.
SANE now receives 100% of money donated by text. You can increase the value of your donation by applying Gift Aid (if you are a UK taxpayer).
When you are preparing publicity material, or during the event itself, encourage people to make text donations. It's quick and simple. And just £3 could help us to save a life. To read more click here
