From Target to Takeoff

Because the fundraising journey is as important as the journey itself.

Whether you are the one planning the adventure of a lifetime, or the parent helping make it possible, this is about more than raising money. With over 20 years of fundraising experience behind us, we know every target can feel daunting at the beginning. Our Fundraising Business Plan gives you a clear, practical path: set your target, choose the right ideas, tell your story, build support and keep momentum. Along the way, young people build confidence, communication, creativity, organisation, resilience and the ability to turn an idea into actionβ€”skills that last far beyond the trip. We will help you turn today’s fundraising target into a future full of possibilities.

Everything on Ways2Raise is entirely free. To give you the personalised help that makes a real difference, open your free account together with a parent or guardian. In around 15 minutes, you will put the plan, page and practical foundations in place to make the rest of the journey easier.

I honestly didn't think I could raise that much. Ways2Raise broke it all down for me β€” I knew exactly what to do each week. The grant finder found me Β£600 I didn't even know existed. I made it to Nepal and it was the best experience of my life.

The sponsorship letter template was a game changer. I sent it to local businesses and got replies within days. Combined with a few events and a car boot sale, I smashed my target with two months to spare. Couldn't have done it without this site.
