Skinflint Rally 2025 - Bovec or Bust
Fundraising Ideas
The Skinflint Rally is all about raising money for your chosen charity while having an unforgettable adventure. Here's a list of fundraising ideas to help you maximize your impact:
Car Sponsorship
Sell logo space on your car to local businesses. Create tiered packages: £50-100 for small logos, £100-250 for medium logos, £250-500 for prime positions, and £500+ for title sponsorship with social media mentions.
QR Code Fundraising
Place QR codes on your vehicle linking directly to your fundraising page. Position them prominently and include a clear call-to-action like "Scan to Support Our Charity Rally!"
Company Match Funding
Check if your employer offers match funding for charitable activities. Many companies will match donations 1:1, 2:1, or even 3:1, potentially doubling or tripling your fundraising total.
Pre-Rally Events
Host quiz nights, auctions, or sponsored car washes. Take your decorated car to local events, shopping centers, or schools to raise awareness and collect donations.
Social Media Campaign
Create dedicated social media accounts for your rally team. Post regular updates about preparations, the car transformation, and fundraising progress with relevant hashtags.
Sponsored Challenges
Add extra challenges to your journey that people can sponsor, such as wearing fancy dress for the entire rally, completing specific photo challenges at landmarks, or camping instead of hotels.
Prediction Competitions
Run "guess the mileage" or "guess the breakdown location" competitions. Charge a small fee for each guess and offer a prize for the winner.
Rally Merchandise
Create and sell team-specific merchandise like t-shirts, caps, or stickers. Add your sponsors' logos and donate the profits to your charity.
Per-Mile Pledges
Ask supporters to pledge a small amount per mile completed. This creates ongoing engagement as they follow your journey and increases donations the further you travel.
Local Media Coverage
Contact local newspapers, radio stations, and TV channels with your story. Media coverage can significantly boost awareness and donations.
Workplace Fundraising
Organize dress-down days, bake sales, or office competitions at your workplace with proceeds going to your rally charity fund.
Online Fundraising Platforms
Set up pages on JustGiving, GoFundMe, or Facebook Fundraisers. Create a compelling story about why you're participating and which charity you're supporting.
Video Diary Sponsorship
Create a daily video diary of your rally adventure and get sponsors for each episode. Share these on social media to increase engagement and donations.
Charity Partnerships
Work directly with your chosen charity to leverage their existing fundraising infrastructure, supporter networks, and social media presence.
Virtual Participation
Create ways for supporters to virtually "ride along" with you through daily updates, live streams at key moments, or interactive challenges they can complete at home.
