So you may not have the budget, time or know-how to set up a virtual-reality gala complete with avatars and snazzy branded breakout rooms. But that certainly doesn't mean you can’t run a really successful online fundraiser for a cause close to your heart.

Whether you’re a seasoned charity pro or are dipping your toes into the word of money-raising for the first time, these virtual fundraiser ideas are a great way to get the donations rolling in.
