Set up your online fundraising page
Whether you’re hosting an event, taking on a personal challenge, or simply want to support Launchpad, setting up an online fundraising page is a great way to collect donations and share your story.
We offer two trusted platforms – JustGiving and Enthuse – and both make it easy for your supporters to donate securely online. Here’s a quick overview to help you decide which one to use:
JustGiving
JustGiving is a well-known platform that acts as your personal fundraising hub. Once your page is set up, you’ll get a unique link to share via email or social media, making it easy for people to donate. All funds raised are sent directly to Launchpad, so you don’t need to worry about handling money.
Even if you’re using a Launchpad collection box or donation forms at your event, a JustGiving page is still useful for those who can’t attend but want to support your efforts.

Enthuse
Enthuse is another great option for online fundraising. It’s quick to set up, and all donations go straight to Launchpad. You’ll receive a personalised link to share with friends, family, and colleagues – perfect for spreading the word and encouraging support.
Enthuse also works well alongside in-person fundraising, giving people who can’t be there a way to contribute online.
Getting the most out of your fundraising page
Add a photo
Fundraisers who add a profile picture to their page tend to raise 15% more. Show your supporters who you are!
Add a fundraising story
An engaging story can make all the difference. Everyone’s reasons for fundraising are different, and this is your chance to let the world know why Launchpad matters so much to you. Whether you’ve personally benefited from our services, or feel strongly about the work we do for others in the community, let everyone know! It might even motivate them to become a fundraiser too.
Set a fundraising target
Target setters raise up to 46% more, so it’s a great way to kick-start your fundraising. Make your goal ambitious but achievable and let people know your progress as you go. Send updates when you hit milestones (such as ‘we’re 50% of the way there!’) to keep the momentum going.
Add a quick summary
Can you sum up what you’re doing and why in a few short sentences? This can be really helpful for sharing on social media to tell people at a glance why they should donate to your cause.
