Fundraising Tips


HAVE A CONVERSATION STARTER

Write on your page why you’re taking part in Connor’s Erg. Making your story personable will help your supporters understand why they should get behind you.


IF ASKING IS NOT YOUR THING...

If you don’t feel comfortable asking for a donation, that's ok. You can also just share a link to your fundraising page on your social media.

SET A GOAL YOU FEEL IS ATTAINABLE

The thing with brain matters is, every bit of funding makes an impact. So you don’t need to set a gigantic goal. Decide on something you feel is fun and motivating to reach. When you’ve reached that goal, you can decide whether you want to increase it further.


LEAD BY EXAMPLE

Be the first to donate to your page. "I did it, you can too" is a powerful motivator for others to throw their support behind you.

About the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation

The Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation works tirelessly in both the US and Australia to support brain projects in the areas of research, care and development – to fund the science to end brain cancer and support patients in the meantime.

We know a cure won’t come from one lab or one country, which is why we’ve established a charity arm in the U.S and partnered with world-leading research institutes and medical professionals from across the globe. We strive towards facilitating global collaboration to pool resources, fast-track research, and ultimately, improve the odds for kids facing brain cancer. We’ve formed a scientific panel of global researchers to ensure we remain up to date on research around the world, receive the best investment advice and ensure that the research we fund in Australia is part of the larger picture to finding a global cure to this global disease.
