FUNDRAISE
Here are some suggestions on how you can fundraise for the children and projects you care about, and make a difference in their lives.
Fundraise for Crete for Life
Every action you take – big or small – sends food to hungry families, equips a child with a new pair of shoes, or removes plastic from our cherished coastline. We rely on the creativity and dedication of our supporters to power these vital projects.
Launch a Personal Fundraising Page
Ready to mobilize your community for good? Setting up your own personalized fundraising page is the most effective way to collect donations from your friends, family, and social network. You can choose your platform or use one of the links below. In either cases contact us if you need help.
- Global Giving – Crete For Life
- Paypal.me/creteforlife share it to your contacts and let them know you are supporting Crete For Life!
Organize an Event or Challenge
Turn your passion into power! Hosting a fundraiser is a fantastic way to catch up with loved ones while making a real difference. Here are some suggestions but you can contact us for help!
Digital Celebrations: Is a birthday, anniversary, or public holiday coming up? Instead of gifts, ask friends and family to donate to Crete for Life. You can celebrate virtually or in person—and use the occasion to highlight our mission.
The Declutter Challenge: Clean out your home and sell those unwanted treasures on platforms like eBay or Facebook Marketplace. You turn clutter into crucial funds for our projects!
Walk the Cretan Way
Walk the Cretan Way: The island is famous for its stunning hiking paths, including Crete’s 500km section of the E4 European path. Challenge yourself to walk a section (or the whole thing!) and turn your adventure into a fundraising campaign, just like Camilla and her father recently did.
Run a Marathon
Run a marathon like these wonderful brothers did!
Celebrate with Purpose
Mark life’s special milestones by sharing your joy and extending a helping hand to those in need. Are you getting married, celebrating a christening, commemorating an anniversary, or honoring the memory of a dear one? Consider making a donation or asking your guests to donate to Crete for Life in honor of your special occasion. Your celebration can become a life-changing gift for the children and families we support.
