Fundraising Tips, Ideas and Resources

Have a day where everyone can dress up, dress down or in a theme for a gold coin donation

Get your face painted and take a selfie for quick and easy cash.

For children too young to really appreciate gifts, ask guests attending your child’s party to donate to Telethon instead.

Set aside a time in the day or each week where there’s no talking, anyone who talks pays a fine!

A great one for the workplace to raise loads of cash, every time someone swears they must add a coin.

Ask everyone to choose something they would like to give up for a day – chocolate, texting, technology? Encourage friends and family to give small donations towards a goal set for a day.

Ask for donations of baked goods and sell them for a price. Add a Bake Sale to an existing event to raise extra dollars!

Get sponsored to do some chores around your home, at school, at work or in your local community.

Ask for donations to paint nails, give tennis lessons, mow a lawn or walk the dog!

At your next event hold a sausage sizzle – get the buns and snags donated to boost your fundraising dollars.

Everyone has plenty of these floating around at home. Why not give those lonely coins a purpose? Boost your results and make it a “Loose Change Challenge”.

Find out who has the brains in your workplace, school or community group. Done well, these nights are not only a lot of fun but can raise a lot of money!

What better way to get everyone together with the entry fee going to Telethon. Guests can bring their own chair. Make food and drinks available for sale on the night. Ask people to dress up as their favourite movie star for a prize
