Charity emoji name fun
Howard Lake | 9 April 2019 | Blogs
Simon Scriver has once again created some fun for fundraisers with a charity emoji name quiz. And it has sparked variations on the theme by others.
The original ‘charity name emoji quiz’ was posted by Simon (@ToastFundraiser) on Twitter on 7 April, with acknowledgement to Nikki Bell (@charitynikki). Which charity names can you spot?

We’ve covered charities and emoji on UK Fundraising in the past, and even mused on the idea of what a fundraising emoji (or set of emoji) might look like.
For example:
- WWF USA uses emoji in endangered species fundraising appeal (5 June 2015)
- Macmillan uses emoji treasure hunt to encourage people to explore its website (18 July 2016)
- How to turn negative emoji into positive charity support (29 November 2017)
Have you used emoji successfully in your fundraising? Either for an ask, or for communicating with supporters?
What might your 10 emoji quiz about your charity look like?
