It doesn’t have to be complicated…
You don’t have to do anything you wouldn’t do anyway. So use the resources you already have, and involve the people you already know. You’ll never know what big things can come from such small beginnings.

One of the simplest ways to fundraise is by using Facebook’s own fundraising tools. It’s fast, easy, and 100% of funds raised are sent to MAF. Best of all, your friends are already online.
Do you jog?
Grab some friends and head to the park.
Make it a themed event. Ask your local flying club to close an airstrip and run the length of it. Get sponsors to donate money for every hour or kilometer you run, or every lap you make.
Hey! You love to jog anyway so you might as well turn those laps into donations that can provide a flight for someone in need.
You already love movies.
Host a movie marathon for you and your friends.
Make it a theme night and invite people to cosplay.
You’re a night-owl anyway, and you already have that killer big-screen TV, so why not make the most of it by putting it to good use?
Lend a Helping Hand!
Organize a community clean-up for charity or get your friends together to build those new welcome signs or that fancy gazebo your town square’s always wanted.
Bringing people together to help with a common task is a great way to host a fundraiser. Not only will you end up with a clean beach or park, you’ll be helping people around the world as well.
We can even provide you with information about MAF to give them.
