With 2025 now in full swing, fundraising continues to evolve, with donors seeking more engaging and impactful ways to contribute to meaningful causes. One of the most effective and exciting methods gaining popularity is the challenge fundraiser—a dynamic way to raise funds while inspiring participation and community involvement.

What is a Challenge Fundraiser?
A challenge fundraiser is an event where participants commit to a specific challenge in exchange for donations.Â
Whilst runs, cycles, and walks are a well-established fundraising method, we’ve found that, over the past few years, charities and participants alike are looking for something different—more exciting and, most importantly, unique—to add to their events calendar.
Big Bang Experiences offer a wide range of height-based activities to suit all kinds of organisations. Our Abseils, Zip Wires, and Bungee Jump challenges are a flexible, fun, and inspiring option, accessible to a wide range of supporters.

Let’s explore why challenge fundraisers are only going to get bigger in the coming years…
Increased Engagement - Supporters love an interactive experience. A challenge fundraiser creates excitement, encouraging participants to share their progress and attract more donations.
Builds a Community – These in-person events foster a sense of connection among participants and donors, strengthening support for the cause. We find that many participants have recently received care from those they’re supporting, and are eager to give back!
Social Media-Friendly – Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook make it easy to document and promote challenges, helping to reach wider audiences. Live streams on the day can build engagement and encourage last-minute donations.
Innovative Fundraising in a Competitive Space – Traditional donation requests can feel repetitive; a unique challenge fundraiser stands out, making it easier to capture attention.
