Fundraising

Fundraising made easy

It's easy to make a difference. Your personal online fundraising page will be set up automatically when you register for The Big Mission Home and we have lots of effective tips and resources below to make your fundraising a breeze.

We suggest a fundraising target of $600, but just remember ... the sky's the limit!

Tell your story

Take the time to personalise your online fundraising page including why fundraising for the Mission is important to you. Telling your 'why' will inspire others to make a difference too.

Make your first donation a goodie

Your sponsors will often match previous donations so make sure the first is a generous one. The more it is, the higher the following donations are likely to be.
 

Donate to yourself first

By showing others you're serious about making a difference, you'll inspire them to donate to your page. Don't forget to make it a good one so your sponsors are inspired to give more too!

Ask...and ask again

It will often take several reminders before your peers will donate, so don't be afraid to ask multiple times. Posting regularly about your preparations is a good way to ask for support.

Personalise the ask

The more personalised the ask, the more likely your peers are to donate. As well as asking for support via social media, consider sending personalised emails - or even face-to-face!

Matched donations

Many fundraisers find their workplaces get onboard too, so if you have a workplace to call on, why not ask if they will dollar match your fundraising efforts or make a donation.

Say thanks

Make sure you take the time to thank your sponsors. You can do this easily by personalising the thank you email template on the dashboard on your online fundraising page.

Have fun!

Most importantly, enjoy all the good vibes that come with making a difference. Your efforts will make a real difference to those in our community doing it tough. Thank you!
