Introduction to Fundraising:

Imperial College Union supports student groups to run fundraising activities throughout the academic year. As Imperial College Union is a registered charity, your Club or Society operates as part of the Union's charitable structure and this means you can use your group to raise money for causes you care about, while also fundraising to support your own members and activities.

Over the last academic year, Imperial College Union Clubs and Societies raised thousands of pounds for charitable causes, supporting organisations and causes that matter to our student community.

Whether you're organising a charity event, taking part in a sponsored challenge, running a collection or raising money through your group's activities, this collection of articles will help you understand the principles of fundraising through the Union.

We've put together a collection of articles to help you understand our processes and the requirements for running fundraising activity through the Union. 

• Fundraising FAQ's: Answers to common questions about donations, events, product sales, crowdfunding and more.
• Fundraising Step by Step: Step-by-step guidance for planning and setting up your fundraising activity.
• Fundraising for Charity | eActivities: Guidance on how to donate your funds to your chosen Charity.

If you're not sure whether your idea is allowed or how to set it up, please get in touch with the Team before you start collecting money. We're happy to help you turn your idea into a successful fundraiser.

NOTE: As the Union is a registered charity, all fundraising activity must comply with relevant charity law and financial requirements. 

Fundraising through Imperial College Union is available to members of our current approved and active Clubs and Societies. If you're not currently a member of a Club or Society, you can join an existing group or get in touch with us to find out how to set one up. 

All fundraising activity carried out through the Union must be declared to and approved by the Union through the relevant process.
