How to Organize a Dog Walk Fundraiser (6 Steps)

Choose a cause and name. Organizing a fundraiser takes a certain amount of work, so pick a mission that is important to you; select an appropriate name. For example, if you're raising money to help find dogs homes, you can name your event, 'Quarters for Canines.' Other possible names include 'Positive Pooches' and 'Million Mutt March.'
Pick a date and location. Scout your area to find a good spot to hold your fundraiser. Chock out local parks and schools, to see if they have a loop or track you can use. Map out a route on streets that will cause the least amount of traffic congestion. Talk to the appropriate authorities; secure the location for a certain time. Choose a date in the spring or summer, so walkers and pets won't be cold.
Obtain sponsors. Many businesses will be eager to partner with you in your fundraiser. Not only do they get to help an important cause, but they will be able to advertise their products as well. Pair up with a food company that can provide refreshments. Pick a bank that will have its logo printed on t-shirts that you can give to the walkers.
Set a fundraising goal and price fees. Even if your target is just a few hundred dollars, the money will tremendously help needy animals. Pick a goal that is reasonable, then decide how you want to charge walkers. You can charge a flat fee to walk, or the walkers themselves can ask for donations, depending on how far they walk.
Advertise. Pass out flyers and hang posters around the area of the walk. Ask newspapers and radios to run ads for your event. If possible, find a celebrity to endorse your cause and be a part of the fundraiser. This will raise awareness and get people excited about participating.
Bring supplies. For the day of the event, come prepared with treats and waste bags for the dogs. Make sure that there are trash bins along the route so owners can throw their dog's waste away. If you're not providing refreshments, remind the owners to bring snacks and water for themselves.
