Other ways to support
Although one-off donations, regular giving, philanthropic donations and legacy giving are all essential components of our fundraising efforts, there are many other ways to support us.
You could raise funds from online shopping, through payroll giving or even by putting on a special event.
The sky is truly the limit when it comes to fundraising ideas! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at donating@theroyalschool.foundation.

AT WORK
Match funding
Companies often match the amount their employees donate to or raise for charity. So please ask your employer or your HR team if they run such a scheme as it could double the amount your donations!
Payroll giving
It is a great way to make your money go further, and a regular donation to the Royal Wolverhampton School Foundation costs less than you think! Donations are taken from your pay before tax. If you pledge to give £10 a month, it will only cost you £8 (for standard rate taxpayer). Talk to your HR team to set up your payroll giving today.
BE EVENTFUL
Whether at work or with friends, the possibilities are endless - the main thing is to have fun!
- Hold a sport tournament. Encourage healthy competition across departments whilst team building! Netball, football, etc – choose one to suit all abilities. Get each player to donate as an entry fee.
- Host a quiz night. A fun night out and an easy way to raise money!
- Dress-down day: hold a dress-down (or up!) day at work and ask your colleagues to donate £1 to take part. It works on Zoom/Teams for those of you working from home.
- Card amnesty: get your friends to send you a donation instead of a card or present for your birthday.
- Virtual karaoke contest: for these “only in the shower” singers, sing to your heart content, all in the name of charity and from the comfort of your own home!
- Come Dine with Me: invite a group of friends over for dinner and ask them to donate whatever they think the meal was worth to the Royal Wolverhampton School Foundation.
- Auction of services: get people to auction their services e.g., personal trainer, chef for a week, beauty therapy.
