Fundraising FAQ’s

Here are our answers to all of your Fundraising FAQ’s:

How do I fundraise?

We have multiple platforms to help you fundraise for us in the easiest and most simple way.

We have created our own fundraising platform called AgainstMS, here you can create your own bespoke fundraising page and raise money in multiple currencies

Alternatively, you can set up a page on JustGiving or even try out the new Facebook Fundraising!

How do I send Money?

Donations made via your fundraising page will be automatically sent to the charity. If you have collected cash/cheques – Firstly, count the cash and deposit it into your bank account. We advise you don’t send cash in the post. Instead, you can send the donations to us in one of the following ways. Donate via our website (https://msif.donate.ms/donate/) and give as much detail as possible as to the reason for your donation, how you raised the money and what the collection was for (e.g. an event held in memory of a loved one). Contact the Fundraising Team on +44 (0) 20 7620 1911 and we can help you make a transfer or send a cheque.

Do I get a receipt for my donation?

Everyone who donates 10 GBP or more and provides their address will automatically receive a receipt.

How to publicise your event

The more people who know about your event the better! By telling people about the amazing thing you are doing for us. There are lots of ways to promote your fundraising events online using social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Why not put together a home video and post it on Youtube? It can be emotive, entertaining and can be of anything from a personal message to a diary of your planning. Posting snippets of video to Twitter and Facebook can be a fun way of keeping people up to date with your fundraising event! Posters may seem a bit old fashioned when everything appears to be online, but they do get noticed! Put up posters in your local area and ask everyone from cafes owners to libraries and post offices.
