We're proud to partner with Ireland’s number one fundraising platform, iDonate.
If you're raising money for a worthy cause, then please click here to set up your iDonate fundraising page today. Select your charity, or if they're not listed, follow the steps and they'll be added before you know it.
Why do we recommend iDonate?
Put simply, they don't make a profit out of your fundraising. We believe that's the right way to do it.
As a Foundation, they exist solely to support the amazing charities that you're running for. They also fund a number of prize incentives from their Foundation, from kit and merchandise to hotel stays. All designed to help you raise more for your charity.
It's these values, combined with providing you with the best platform and support to hit your targets, that makes them so special.
So don't wait, set up your iDonate page today. If you need any help, just email helpdesk@idonate.ie.

Take a look at iDonate’s top tips to keep your fundraising on track!
Tell your story from the heart
Make it personal right from the get-go. Explain exactly why you're supporting this cause, what it means to you, and the difference the donations will make.
Split your target into chunks
Hitting a fundraising target can be intimidating. Split your overall target by the months you have left until the event. Suddenly, it becomes very achievable!
Share, share, share...
Our links make it easy to share with your friends and family both directly and publicly. You can message, email and post your link to make sure as many people see it as possible.
Thank your supporters
Take the time to thank each one individually when they make a donation. This often leads to more donations, either by themselves or by them sharing it for you.
Share regular updates
Let people know how you're getting on, whether it's hitting a fundraising milestone or talking about your training. The more they're reminded of the hard work you're putting in, the greater the chance you'll be supported.
Your fundraising journey doesn’t end when you cross the finish line. Up to 20% of donations come in after race day, so make sure you keep pushing!
