A fundraising paver campaign is an excellent way to raise funds while creating a lasting legacy for your organisation, school, club, or community project. MPD’s high-quality engraving services ensure professionally finished bricks and pavers, perfect for honouring donors, sponsors, or community members. Follow this guide to plan and execute a successful campaign.
Step 1: Assemble Your Fundraising Committee
A well-organised committee is key to a smooth campaign. Gather a small team of dedicated individuals who will oversee planning, marketing, order collection, and donor communication. This may include members from a school P&C, community organisation, or business sponsorship group.
Step 2: Define Your Campaign Goals
Set clear objectives to keep the campaign focused:
Fundraising Target – Determine the amount needed and how the funds will be used.
Paver Selection – Choose the type, size, and style of engraved pavers (e.g., red bricks, sandstone pavers).
Pricing Structure – Decide on donation amounts based on paver size or engraving options.
Installation Location – Identify a high-visibility area, such as a school entrance, memorial path, or courtyard.
Step 3: Develop an Order Collection System
Create an easy way for donors to place orders. This could be through an online form, printed order sheets, or direct coordination through your organisation. Ensure you collect accurate details, including names, messages, and preferred engraving specifications.
Step 4: Promote the Fundraising Campaign
Spread the word through multiple channels:
Announce the campaign on social media, websites, and newsletters.
Distribute printed flyers or posters in local businesses, schools, and community centres.
Contact local media or sponsors who may wish to contribute.
Encourage committee members to share within their personal and professional networks.
Step 5: Collect and Finalise Orders
Keep an organised record of all paver orders. Double-check spelling, text formatting, and layout to ensure accuracy before submission. If offering different donation levels, confirm that the correct size and style of paver are allocated to each donor.
Step 6: Submit Orders for Engraving
Once orders are finalised, submit them to MPD’s engraving team. Our precision engraving ensures each letter is a minimum of 4mm deep, filled with black acrylic paint (minimum 300 microns), for a highly durable and professional finish.
Step 7: Receive and Install Engraved Pavers
Once the pavers are completed, arrange for installation at the chosen site. Whether laid in a pathway, wall, or memorial area, this final step transforms the fundraising effort into a meaningful and lasting tribute.
Step 8: Celebrate and Recognise Donors
Host a launch or dedication event to showcase the installed pavers and acknowledge supporters. This can help strengthen future fundraising efforts and reinforce the impact of community contributions.
