Fundraise for Elephants
Southern Thailand Elephant Foundation (STEF) are enormously grateful to all of our supporters who have given their time to help protect endangered Asian Elephants – we could not carry out our work without you.
Please find some fundraising ideas below or alternatively email us to receive our fundraising pack, advice or let us know your plans.
Got your own place?
Already secured your place in an event this year? We’d love to have you join Team STEF. Once you’re on board, we’ll support you every step of the way with fundraising tips, training guidance, and everything you need to feel confident and race‑ready.
There is no minimum fundraising commitment – simply raise whatever you can by setting up a JustGiving page. Every £ you collect will help provide vital care and protection for vulnerable, sick and injured elephants in Southern Thailand. Turn your efforts into something truly meaningful by taking part in a go-it-alone or third party mass participation challenge event in support of STEF.
Walk, Jog, Run & more!
Looking for a challenge that gets you moving and makes a real impact?
We have a range of events that are suitable for all, whether a family fun day out to the most competitive ultras that take place across the UK and beyond, offering routes and distances for every level – from first‑timers to seasoned participants. It’s a chance to set yourself a personal goal, enjoy stunning locations, and be part of a supportive community all working toward the same purpose.
Other Ways to Help
Take on a Personal Fitness Challenge
Use your energy for meaningful impact. Whether it’s steps, reps, a fitness goal to improve health or simply giving up a bad habit, dedicate your challenge to help make elephants lives better.
Get Your Local Gym Involved
Ask your gym to host a charity class, a sponsored workout, or a donation day in support of STEF. Small events can make a big difference.
Rally Your Sports Club
Encourage your club to choose STEF as their charity of the year or run a charity match, tournament, or fun day – or nominate an existing event to support STEF this year.
Paypal – Give at Checkout
Make every purchase powerful with Give at Checkout.
Support STEF every time you check out with PayPal, by setting us up as your favourite charity. By doing so you will then have the option to include a £1 donation every time you purchase something.
Easy Fundraising
Whenever you buy anything online – from your weekly shop to your annual holiday – you could be raising free donations for STEF with easyfundraising. There are over 7,000 brands on board ready to make a donation, and it won’t cost you a penny extra to help STEF raise funds.
All you need to do is:
1. Visit our dedicated page and join for free.
2. Every time you shop online, go to easyfundraising first to find the site you want and start shopping.
3. After you’ve checked out, the brand will make a donation to Southern Thailand Elephant Foundation at no extra cost to you whatsoever!
Give a Car
If you’re planning to scrap an old car, you can do it at no cost through Give a Car. They’ll arrange a free collection from your home, auction or recycle the vehicle, and you can choose whether all or part of the proceeds support our work with elephants. It’s an easy, hassle‑free way to turn an unused car into meaningful impact.
Ebay
Why not add us as a charity when you list your item on Ebay?
It’s really simple, and PayPal does all the work. All you have to do is choose STEF as your charity when selling an item, and the amount you want to donate. Once the sale is completed through Ebay as normal PayPal will then automatically collect your donation amount.
Participation in any activity in aid of STEF is at your own risk. We strongly encourage you to prepare thoroughly and recommend seeking medical advice before undertaking any extreme challenge.
