We’re here to help you with your fundraising challenges
Dear Fundraiser
With the world so full of good causes, it can be hard for people to prioritise their giving. What cause needs the most help? Where will one’s money go the furthest? Which issue needs solving the fastest?
So, we understand you’ll be looking for ways of encouraging people to support your good cause and fundraising activities.
So why stop at a single raffle prize? Why not opt for a fundraising approach that will continue to bring in valuable donations long after your fete, bazaar, jumble sale or raffle is over?
DID YOU KNOW?
“People will forget what you said. They will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel.”
Giving makes us feel happy. These good feelings are reflected in our biology.
When people give to charities, it activates regions of the brain associated with pleasure, social connection, and trust, creating a “warm glow” effect.
Chocolate releases endorphins in the brains, also making us feel happy.
So, when you combine charitable giving with the delicious taste of gorgeous chocolate, we believe you’re on to a winning fundraising combination.
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU?
At Tip Top Balloons & Thornton’s we like to help as many local good causes as we can, but as a small family-owned business, regrettably we cannot afford to help everyone with raffle prizes alone. We receive many requests every week from schools, charities, village committees, sports organisations and clubs, asking for raffle prizes from our range of Thorntons Chocolates.
It occurred to us that the donation of a raffle prize for a single event makes a limited contribution to the ongoing financial needs of that school, organisation, club or charity.
So, what could we do to help anyone who approached us?
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU ACHIEVE MORE?
We had a lightbulb moment and created choc, a simple way of enabling us to help anyone raise funds through their network of volunteers and supporters, (and reach potential supporters too!) with chocolate fundraising campaigns:
Our chocolate fundraising approach is called choc (Chocolate Helping Others Campaign)
HOW MUCH WILL WE DONATE?
For every £10 spent on Thorntons chocolate, we’ll donate £1 directly to your fundraising project*
So, the more chocolates purchased by your network, the more your donations increase*. * excludes Thorntons Multi-buys and Special Offers. See full terms and conditions
