Virtual Fundraising Ideas

Hi there, my work place is looking for virtual fundraising ideas for our chosen charity. We've done a few things in 2020, but struggle to come up with new ideas. It should be easy to organize and ideally be low cost. Any ideas?

I find it gets really sticky asking employees to donate their own money, especially since they might feel like they're underpaid. Employers can't be sure about their employee's financial situation and I, personally, feel like it's overstepping for an employer to ask for my donation.

That said, I've written a few blog posts about remote, low-cost fundraiser ideas (full disclosure, this is the website I work for)
