1: Christmas Jumper Day 2024: Open iDonate Event
Christmas Jumper Day is a fun, festive way to raise funds, popular among workplaces, schools, clubs, families, and other groups. iDonate has created an open event page for Christmas Jumper Day 2024 (happening on Thursday, December 12th), allowing supporters to easily create fundraising pages for their chosen cause.
It’s simple—wear your Christmas jumper on December 12th and either fundraise through your own page or donate to your company’s or group’s fundraising page. Share the Christmas Jumper Day event with your supporters, and let’s make this festive season one to remember!
2: Online Raffle Creator
Our Online Raffle Creator has been a huge hit since launching in 2020, especially around the festive season. Setting up an online raffle is easy—just secure your prizes, create your raffle page on iDonate, and share the link with your supporters. Digital ticketing eliminates the hassle of handling cash or distributing physical tickets, making it easier for everyone to participate.
And when it’s time to pick a winner, iDonate’s free ‘Pick a Winner’ tool takes care of the rest. No stress, no hassle—just a smooth, convenient way to raise funds.

3. Christmas Dedication Sites
Our Christmas Dedication Microsites allow your supporters to make a donation in honour of someone special. These have been incredibly popular in recent years, offering two interactive options:
- Light Up The Christmas Tree – Supporters can make a donation to light up a tree in honour of someone special. As they click on a light, the person’s name and dedication message will appear.
- Dedicate a Star – Supporters can dedicate a star to someone they care about. Each star appears against a festive night sky, with the dedicated message appearing when hovered over.
These microsites start at €1,200 and are a beautiful, interactive way to engage supporters during the festive season. For more details, reach out to [email protected]
4: iDonate Tap
Our latest innovation, the Tap to Donate App, makes it easier than ever to collect donations on the go. Developed in partnership with Stripe, this app allows fundraisers to collect contactless donations safely and securely.
Perfect for Flag Day Events, Charity Balls, workplace fundraisers, or Christmas events like carol services and coffee mornings, the Tap to Donate App streamlines the donation process with just a tap.
Whether it’s at an office Christmas party or a festive family gathering, the Tap to Donate App ensures supporters can contribute easily and on the spot. Find out more at idonate.ie/tap/ or contact [email protected] for details.
