Fundraising guides

• Paying for school camp

  Start with the camp cost and what families can afford. Combine a few manageable fundraisers instead of one risky event.

• Fundraising for the school ball

  Plan the ball budget first. Fundraising should lower the ticket cost without committing the committee to money it does not have.

• Fundraising for one person’s trip

  Name the traveller, the trip and the amount still needed. Explain who receives the money and what happens if plans change.

• Fundraising around Anzac Day

  Treat Anzac Day as a day of remembrance. Check restrictions and permissions before planning a collection, sale or use of protected names.

• Why not a 50/50 draw?

  Use a fixed cash-prize raffle instead of splitting ticket income with the winner. Decide the prize before selling any tickets.

• Organising a street parade

  Organising a parade is a community event with substantial costs and permissions. Joining an existing parade with a float is the smaller fundraising option.
