Create a fundraiser – FOP Australia

Have you got an idea about a potential fundraising activity? FOP Australia are keen to work with individuals and companies to achieve our goals for the FOP community of Australia and New Zealand. No event is too big or too small! And we are here to help you along the way – we would love to hear your ideas and help you get started via info@fopaustralia.org

Tools to help you get started:

We have online fundraising platforms that can be used to help your fundraiser, simplify money handling, and create capability for automatic tax receipts for your donors. Crowdraisers can be created on GiveNow, as well as mycause (see below). Facebook can also be used for very easy online fundraising (though please note that it does not allow us to generate tax receipts for donors).
We can also help you run and promote your fundraiser through the FOP Australia website and social media channels.
There is a range of clothing merchandise available that can be used for team shirts in a fun-run, or to identify co-ordinators at your event.
FOP Australia eco-cups can also be sold at your fundraising event (eg. market stalls)
FOP Australia hold fundraising permits for each Australian state, and can help you understand the terms of these permits that may apply to your fundraiser. We can also help you check whether your event needs insurance, and if so, assist with that process.
Check out our list of previous fundraising activities to help you get ideas!
