DIY Fundraising

A True Community Effort: Join Us in Supporting Local Causes!

We are thrilled to share this wonderful example of how community fundraising can make a difference! The Truro Harness Racing Association stepped up and created a raffle in support of our Foundation, with all funds raised going to both the Colchester East Hants Health Centre Foundation and the Colchester Chapter of Cat Rescue Maritimes. This initiative showcases the power of coming together to help those in need.

  • Afternoon Tea Party / High Tea

    Bake some goodies, brew some tea, and invite your friends over for an enjoyable afternoon. Participants would be required to make a donation in order to participate.
  • Anything-A-Thon

    Organize a 24-hour fundraising event like Bike-A-Thon, Play-A-Thon, or Nintendo-A-Thon to support Covenant Foundation. Participants can pay a fee or collect pledges, making it a fun way to support the Foundation.
  • Battle of the Bands

    Reach out to local bands in your community and find a location to host the event. Have guests admission be via donation, and have the audience pick the winner of the competition.
  • Car Wash

    Get some friends, teammates, or coworkers together and wash cars for donations.
  • Employee Giving Program

    If you own a business with your own staff, there are many ways to do this. One way could be to encourage your employees to donate by pledging to match however much they raise!
  • Fashion Show

    Invite clothing stores from your community to showcase their new fashions at your workplace. Charge a fee to participate and donate the proceeds.
  • Fitness Party

    Ask a local fitness center to host a fitness class in support of the Foundation. Charge participants a fee to take part in a class and donate the proceeds.
  • Garage Sale

    Looking for a great way to get rid of that clutter? Gather all your items you don’t use anymore and hold a garage sale with the proceeds being donated to Covenant Foundation. Invite friends and neighbours to participate!
  • Lunch Money

    Encourage your co-workers or friends to eat lunch at home or pack a bagged lunch and donate what they normally would have spent on going out to eat lunch to the CEHHC Foundation.
  • Hailey and Nora are 10 years old and wanted to make an impact in their community. They approached us wanting to fundraise on our behalf, by selling lemonade and hosting a street sale. They advertised around their community, with a goal to sell 200 cups of lemonade... and they surpassed their goal!
