Fundraising Pro Tips

• Start Strong - Consider making the first donation to your own fundraising page to lead by example and set a bold - but achievable - goal.​

• Share Your Why - Let people know why youth mental health matters to you.  A personal story helps create connection and encourage others to support your efforts. 

• Use Social to Your Advantage - Share your fundraising page across your social channels so your network can easily learn more, show support and donate.

Team Fundraising Ideas

If you’re fundraising with a team, consider working together and recording funds as a team gift. Here are a few easy, flexible ideas: 

• Trivia Night – Host a trivia challenge in person or virtually and invite participants to donate to play. 

• Online Auction – Use platforms like 32auctions.com to auction items or experiences. 

• Bingo Night – Share digital bingo cards and invite participants to donate to join the game. 

• Theme or Dress-Down Day – Encourage small donations in exchange for a casual, themed or spirit day. 

• Executive Challenge – When a fundraising goal is reached, leaders take on a fun or bold challenge to celebrate the milestone. 

*Please note that team donations do not count towards fundraising totals

To thank our fundraising participants for their efforts in supporting Kids Help Phone, rewards are given to eligible individual participants.

Individual fundraising rewards

When you raise $250 or more, you’ll unlock an exclusive reward - an e-Gift card from a selection of top retailers - as our way of saying thank you. Every dollar you raise helps make a difference, and reaching out to your network is easier than you think! 

Start fundraising today to claim your reward!

 

Team fundraising rewards

Please note, Kids Help Phone will no longer issue team rewards. We will continue to issue rewards for any individual raising $250 or more.

*Please note, rewards are not cumulative. Rewards will be emailed to eligible individual participants following the final tally of the event.

All donations must be received on or before May 31, 2025 to be eligible for individual rewards. Rewards will be given based on total fundraising amount submitted (i.e. donations raised both online and in person).

Eligible participants must claim the reward no later than November 30, 2025. Rewards claimed beyond this date cannot be fulfilled. The rewards themselves do not have an expiry.

You may receive an official tax receipt for the value of your reward if you raise $250 or more and decide to donate your fundraising reward back to Kids Help Phone.
