Fundraising toolkit
Grandview Kids is in awe of the incredible community members and organizations that fundraise for its children and youth. Creating a customized fundraising page will allow you to upload photos and logos and provide you with email and letter templates to help you with your fundraising efforts. Your supporters can also donate to your fundraiser directly through your fundraising page. Grandview Kids is driven to support you in your fundraising endeavour. This page is designed to deliver everything you need to succeed in supporting Grandview Kids!
Promoting your event
1. Social media
Grandview Kids has social media profiles on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X (formerly Twitter). Grandview Kids uses these channels to communicate with generous donors, Grandview Kids clients and families, volunteers, staff and the general public.
2. Marketing materials
After drafting your event marketing and promotional materials, please send them for review to the Development Department at Grandview Kids to ensure consistency with brand guidelines. These materials and messaging are key to the success of your event, and we would like our partnership to be as successful as possible.
3. Press release
If you plan to prepare a press release, please connect with the Development Department’s Communications and Marketing Specialist, Kelsey Cluett. Kelsey can assist you in crafting your message and will provide you with appropriate Grandview Kids messaging.
Collecting donations
The Development Department requests that you collect all monies related to your event and submit them to Grandview Kids within 60 days of your fundraising event. Charitable receipts will be issued within four weeks of that date (if applicable). Please refer to the Government of Canada’s tax-receipting guidelines to see which gifts can be receipted.
Cheque presentations
The Development Department is happy to arrange a cheque presentation with you and your supporters to celebrate your success. Grandview Kids will include each cheque presentation on all social media accounts and on Grandview Kids’ website. Cheque presentations can occur at any Grandview Kids location.
