Everyday spending habits often go unnoticed, yet they represent an opportunity to generate meaningful fundraising dollars over time. Among the most consistent weekly expenses for many individuals are coffee and gas, purchases that tend to happen regardless of season, schedule, or lifestyle changes.
We’re excited to unveil a new feature designed to make supporting your favourite cause even more meaningful and flexible than ever before. Electronic gift card gifting is now live on the FundScrip platform.
Economic uncertainty affects every part of community life. Higher costs and tight household budgets can make traditional fundraising challenging. Community groups, sports teams, schools, and charities may find it difficult to reach fundraising targets when supporters are being more cautious with discretionary spending.
March is Brain Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to protecting one of the most vital parts of human health: the mind. Awareness around cognitive wellness continues to grow regarding Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, brain injuries such as concussions and spinal cord trauma, mental health challenges, and the evolving understanding of neurodivergence.
Spring will soon bring longer days, warmer breezes, and the cheerful anticipation of Easter celebrations. Store shelves will fill with colourful chocolate displays, seasonal décor, and ingredients for family feasts.
Keeping a fundraising program active and thriving depends on steady, predictable participation. When FundScrip members place gift card orders regularly, the campaign builds momentum, reaches its goals faster, and maintains long-term engagement. A gentle reminder at the right time can make all the difference.
