Fundraising Ideas

There are many different ways your group can raise funds for the Making It Happen project. The following ideas have been compiled to assist you in organising an activity or event to raise funds; however the possibilities are only limited by your own imagination.

Simple Things
1. / Make 3 coffees a week at home instead of buying them. Donate the money you would have spent to the cause.
2. / Save all your $2 coins for a year.
3. / Sacrifice three luxury items from your weekly household shop and donate the money you save. Encourage friends and colleagues to join in with you!
4. / If you buy something on sale – donate the amount you saved on the RRP.
5. / Wash your own car for a whole year instead of a professional wash!
6. / Save what you would spend on 2 take-away meals a month for a year.
7. / Hold a Casual Dress Day at your workplace. Gold Coin donation for the privilege.
A Little More Effort
8. / Give your family and friends the opportunity to give as well.
100 friends donating $5 each = $500
