Fundraising resources and downloads

 

These resources are designed to support your Oxfam Trailwalker team’s fundraising. Using them will make fundraising easier for your team.

  • Online team page. Your number one fundraising resource is your online fundraising page. This page will be the hub of your fundraising activities as supporters can donate directly to your team online. You can personalise it with photos and blogs to keep your supporters up to date. Send the link to your friends and family so they can view your progress and sponsor you by donating online using our secure credit card facility. Your sponsors can also leave you messages of support when they donate.

To login to your personal team page go to www.oxfam.org.nz/oxfam_trailwalker/event-info

These resources are included in the preparation pack sent to all confirmed teams. If you need more, either download from using the links below or email us at info@oxfamtrailwalker.org.nz and we’ll send more out to you.

  • Preparation guide. The preparation guide has heaps of fundraising info, ideas and tips in it. Plus it’s got easy quick reference examples of what donations to your team can do. Use these examples to inspire your supporters to donate. Oxfam Trailwalker prep guide
  • Fundraising books. These books allow you to record offline donations and ensure your donors will get receipts for their cash donations. 
  • Posters. Shout out that you are doing Oxfam Trailwalker by writing your team name on your posters and putting them up where they can’t be missed (we recommend above hand driers and in toilet cubicles). Posters are also a great way to promote your fundraising events. Download poster
  • Fundraising cards. These handy little cards show potential supporters exactly where they go to donate to your team. All you have to do is write your team name on them and give them out to anyone who says “I don’t have any cash on me, how can I donate?” Download fundraising cards
  • Oxfam Updates. The best way to tell your donors about the important work they are supporting is through these fliers. Interested people equals more support! Email us on the contact address below and we'll pop some in the post to you. 
  • Balloons! These bright green Oxfam balloons will ensure your fundraising events are ‘official’ and eye catching. Email us on the contact address below and we'll pop some in the post to you.
