- CharityBuy: Stop FOP while you shop! Doing your shopping at any hundreds of online stores through CharityBuy means a donation will go to FOP Australia from each sale. At no extra cost to you! Use it all year round for your routine shopping, or for those special Christmas presents!
- FOP Australia Coffee Club (regular giving program): Following on from the successful launch in 2018, this planned giving program helps you help FOP research for the cost of a takeaway coffee each week. With just a few clicks you can join to donate $5 per week. And you will receive an FOP Australia Eco-Cups as a thank you!
- Entertainment memberships: Save on restaurants, hotels, shopping, hire cars, holidays and more!
Starting your own fundraiser for FOP Australia
FOP Australia has partnered with mycause to help our community members across Australia (and NZ) raise much needed funds towards research for a cure. mycause makes it easy to help in lots of ways:
- Celebrations – Encourage friends to donate to FOP Australia in lieu of presents for your birthday or anniversary by setting up a mycause page for them to use
- Events – Host a morning tea, cake stalls, or quiz night and track your donations on mycause
- Challenges – Do a fun run, swim or walk. Or do a personal challenge like no alcohol/chocolate for a month, and set up a mycause sponsorship page to make it easy for friends to support you
- Tributes – Make a tribute page in honour of the memory of a loved one.
No event is too big or too small! And we are here to help you along the way. Registering an event is easy, please visit the FOP Australia mycause page and click on the appropriate link to start. We would love to help you with this process, or to hear of any other new fundraising ideas, so please get in touch at info@fopaustralia.org.
