Fundraising

Hosting a fundraiser is a great way to educate others about Snyder-Robinson Syndrome and raise funds to support the Snyder-Robinson Foundation & our research initiatives. As a small nonprofit, our work is powered by our community of patients, families, friends and supporters. Grassroots fundraising is what makes it all possible. Fundraising is what keeps our organization running and funds research for SRS treatments. If you’re looking to make a difference, fundraising for SRF is the way to go.

Ways to Fundraise

  1. HOST AN EVENT

Hosting your own fundraiser is a great way to spread awareness of SRS and provide family, friends, and neighbors with a fun opportunity to support the Snyder-Robinson Foundation.

If you are interested in hosting a fundraiser for SRF, contact us at cameron.hancock@snyder-robinson.org, so we can assist you in promoting it! We would love to feature your upcoming fundraiser on our social channels to help spread the word. You can also reach out to us, and we’d be happy to help you organize your event.

Examples of a private fundraising event include:

  • Golf outings (or putt-putt for those with less golf experience)

  • Silent Auctions

  • Game or Trivia Night

  • Luncheon

  • Hosting a 5k walk for SRS

  • Yard Sale or Virtual Yard Sales

  • Bake Sales

  • School Fundraiser

  • Setting up a Personal Fundraising page (e.g. GoFundMe, Crowdwise)

  • Competing in an athletic competition such as a marathon or Obstacle Challenge and asking friends, family, and coworkers to pledge their support

  • Use your creativity! The sky is the limit when it comes to hosting fundraisers.

2. FUNDRAISE THROUGH LIFE EVENTS

If you have a birthday, wedding, or some other milestone event in which you don’t have any interest in receiving presents, you can have your guests donate to SRF in lieu of gifts. This is a simple way to educate the people in your lives about SRS and contribute to our efforts for researching a cure for the disorder.

3. COMPANY GIFT MATCHING

An easy and effective way to double your donation is through your employer. Many companies offer a charitable gift matching program, so contact your HR department to learn about what your company offers before donating! Many companies also allow employees to volunteer their time with local charities, and if that’s the case, we are always looking for volunteers!

4. SOCIAL MEDIA & ONLINE FUNDRAISING

Facebook makes it simple to raise funds – and they don’t charge any transaction fees, so 100% of the money raised supports the Snyder-Robinson Foundation. To learn how to set up a fundraiser on your Facebook page, follow these simple steps. Although the page in the link specifically mentions a birthday fundraiser, the same rules apply to any fundraiser you decide to host on Facebook, birthday or not!

Instagram also allows users to fundraise on behalf of an organization. You can do so either through Posts or Stories. If you decide to do it through posts, upload and edit your chose picture, then once you get to the page before posting that lets you tag and add details to your image, select “Add fundraiser” then search Snyder-Robinson Foundation. You can also request donations through Instagram stories by clicking on the icon with the smiley face on the top of your story image, selecting “Donation” then searching for Snyder-Robinson Foundation.
