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

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.
