Fundraising

We participate in many fundraising events each year. Events such as the annual Hotel Industry Charity Walk each May, not only provide an opportunity for H.A.R.F to raise funds, but we also receive matching funds from the organization maximizing our generous donors support!

Check in with us regularly to see what fundraising events H.A.R.F. is holding and how you can be involved.

Create a Fundraiser

Organizing a fundraiser for H.A.R.F. is a great way to get the whole family involved. You can hold a yard sale, bake sale or whatever creative event you can think of and donate the proceeds to the animals at HARF. This is a wonderful opportunity for the kids and schools; it’s easy, fun and educational.

Facebook Fundraiser

Create a fundraiser for a cause that’s important to you (Yay H.A.R.F.!) via Facebook. Celebrate a birthday or other special day, honor a loved one, or do it just because you want to. It’s quick and easy. The best part is that you don’t have to manage funds! The donations go directly to your cause AND Facebook takes no fees for the service so your charity receives 100% of the funds donated. Once you have your event posted, it’s easy to share with your friends and family.

Three easy steps to get started:

  • 1) Go to the Hawaii Animal Rescue Foundation Facebook page

  • 2) Click on the “Create a Fundraiser” button just below our cover photo

  • 3) Follow the quick step-by-step instructions to customize your fundraiser and share with your Facebook friends

5 Fundraising Tips for Kids

Do you want to raise money for H.A.R.F. animals by doing your own fundraiser? Follow these simple steps to get started creating your very own fundraiser. Make sure you check with your parents or teachers first.

  • Pick a fundraiser you want to plan. (See below for some great ideas)

  • Decide the date, time and location for your fundraiser.

  • Promote your fundraiser as much as possible! Make flyers and hand them out in your neighborhood, local stores, and at your school and be sure to tell as many people as you can.

  • Design and print a Hawaii Animal Rescue Foundation brochure to pass out to people during your fundraiser to help them learn about the cause you are supporting.

  • After your fundraiser is finished, be sure to thank everyone who helped you! Send updates people who donated to your cause or helped with the fundraiser to let them know how much money you raised and how much they helped.

Fundraiser Ideas for Kids

Ask your local gas station if you could host your car wash at their location or ask your local groomers if they would donate some dog shampoo.

Offer your neighbors or friends to walk their dogs in exchange for a donation. This will help them if they are busy and will make their dog happy too!

Make your own lemonade to sell or ask a local market if they would donate lemonade to you for your fundraiser.

Ask teachers at your school if you could host a food or blanket drive at school. Put up flyers before the drive to let people know the dates that you will be collecting the dog/cat food or blankets.

Pick your favorite sport, such as a basketball or baseball game. Find sponsors to give a certain amount of money per point scored or base that was touched.

Decorate canisters that will hold the coins. Talk to different classrooms at your school to explain what you’re doing and ask students to donate spare change. For more information and help with this fundraiser, please contact us at 808-876-0022.

Ask friends and family to donate baked treats for humans and for your furry four-legged friends too.

Make art pieces or ask local artists to donate items. Auction off the art pieces and donate the money to H.A.R.F.

Ask people you know to donate money for each page or each book of an animal-related book you and your friends read.

Ask a local band or musician if they would be willing to perform for free, or a discount and let them know the proceeds will be benefiting animals.

Two minds are better than one! Talk to your friends and tell them your ideas and goals. If you want to start the club at your school, you may need to find a faculty adviser. (Maybe you know a teacher who likes animals?) Find a place where your club can have meetings and set a date and a time. Make flyers and spread the word.
