Get Involved: Volunteer and Host Fundraising Events for Artemis Huron
If you’re passionate about supporting survivors of gender-based violence, there are so many ways to get involved. Hosting a fundraiser is a powerful way to support the vital work happening at Artemis Huron—and we’re here to cheer you on every step of the way.
How To Get Started
Gather Your Team
Pull together a group of friends, coworkers, or community members who are excited to help. A team brings fresh ideas, extra hands, and a lot more energy to your event.
Pick an IDEA OR Theme for Your Event
Focus on one great idea or theme to keep your event simple, meaningful, and memorable. It’ll help you stay organized and make it easier for your supporters to get excited too.
Set a Realistic Fundraising Goal
Choose a goal that’s clear, motivating, and doable. It gives your team something concrete to work toward—and helps keep the energy high along the way.
Plan Your Budget
Keep it simple: spend smart, raise big. Make sure your costs stay low so more of what you raise can go directly to supporting survivors.
Please note: Artemis Huron is not able to cover expenses for third party fundraisers.
Complete a Fundraising Application Form
Before you get rolling, fill out our fundraising application form below. It helps us know what you’re planning and makes it easier for us to support you with the right info, resources, and tools.
Check for Permits and Licenses
Depending on your event, you might need a permit or license (for example, raffles or silent auctions need a lottery license, and bake sales have to follow food safety and allergen rules). If you’re not sure, reach out—we’re happy to help point you in the right direction.
Spread the Word
Promotion is key! Share your event on social media, put up posters, and invite everyone you know to join in. Encourage your network to share it too—the more people hear about it, the bigger the impact.
Say Thank You
A genuine thank you goes a long way. Whether it’s a handwritten note, an email, or a quick shoutout online, showing gratitude to your supporters and volunteers makes people feel appreciated—and excited to support again in the future.
