Community fundraising
Get together with others and make an incredible contribution to your community
On this page:
There are many different ways you can make a meaningful difference through fundraising, but every single one contributes to profoundly positive transformation for lives and communities.
Community fundraising drives a collective benefit: you build stronger connections with your friends and other networks, while contributing to vital services and supports that drive change in your community.
As a community fundraiser, you’ll play a crucial role in delivering meaningful, positive change for more than 19,000 people in our community. You’ll help to deliver the best of care for people who need support in affordable housing, residential aged care, disability services, home care, retirement living, and child, youth and family services.
Different ways to fundraise
We encourage you to get creative in your fundraising efforts. Your event can run on one-day or over many days throughout the year. It could be small and intimate, or larger scale and open invite. It can be fun and celebratory or quiet and reflective. The best idea is the one that suits you and connects with your network.
You could:
- participate in a charity run on walk
- hold a silent auction
- have a lunch, BBQ morning tea
- run a dress up day at your school, church, work or with friends
- organise a sports tournament
- run a trivia night
- and many, many more ideas or events we’re always happy to discuss.
You can also make an equally valuable contribution by donating now. Every contribution plays a vital role in supporting your community.
You can also give:
- In acknowledgement of a personal challenge: there’s nothing like the sense of achievement that comes with personal triumph. Even more so when you’re also supporting vital supports for your community. You could run a marathon, climb a mountain, complete a triathlon, walk a great distance or any other type of challenge.
- In celebration: supporting positive change in your community is worthy of a celebration, but doubly so when people feel festive at weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or baby showers. Community fundraising can be a great addition to a special, joyous celebration.
- In tribute and loving memory: losing someone close to you is always difficult. With community fundraising, you can honour a loved one’s memory in a way that resonates incredibly powerfully through other people’s lives. Some people collect donations in lieu of flowers, to honour a loved one’s legacy through kindness and compassion.
