Our Crowdfunder campaigns use Forever Funding. That means:

• People can still donate to our active projects even after the original campaign ends

• Supporters can also create their own fundraiser page linked to one of those projects

• Your fundraising total goes towards the same conservation work - and you can share your page with friends, family, colleagues, and local community groups

Why fundraise - where your money goes

Funds raised through our Forever Funding projects, in partnership with Crowdfunder, directly support practical, on-the-ground conservation in Cornwall, including:

• Habitat restoration and long-term management

• Monitoring and survey work

• Equipment and materials for fieldwork and volunteer days

• Community engagement - getting more people involved in protecting wildlife

How to set up a fundraiser

Set up your own fundraiser in 5 steps

1. Choose a project to fundraise for from Water voles - Ospreys - Beavers (you will need to set up a Crowdfunder account if you don’t already have one)

2. Add a title, photo, and a few lines about what you’re doing and why

3. Pick a target and set an end date

4. Share your link with your friends, family and on social media - and keep people updated as you go

Fundraising ideas

Need inspiration? Here are some ideas that work really well:

• Half marathons, 10Ks, triathlons, obstacle races

• Coast path runs or long-distance hikes

• Sponsored swim, surf, or paddle challenge

• Cycle challenges (coast-to-coast, 100 miles, or commuting for a month)

• Birthday fundraisers

• Bake sales, community coffee mornings, pub quizzes

• School or workplace challenges (steps challenges, dress-down days, matched giving)

Simple tips that make a big difference

• Tell people exactly what you’re doing and when

• Say why you chose Kernow Conservation - make it personal

• Post updates as you train / prepare (photos help)

• Ask your workplace about matched fundraising

• Share more than once - most donations come after reminders

If you set up a fundraiser, we can help with:
