- In memory/in honour donations, donations to campaigns/appeals, general donations, monthly/recurring donations
- Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
- e.g. friends, family, co-workers donate to participants in fundraising event
- Employee fundraisers and events
- Volunteering – some employers will give donations to charities where employees volunteer, based on the number of hours volunteered
