The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising

The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising was originally produced in 2008 as a soft cover guide which provided practical ideas and advice for community groups wanting to raise funds. Topics covered in the guide included Getting Started, Planning an Event, Sponsorship, Community Funding and Marketing. It also provided details about running specific events such as discos, gala days, food stalls, raffles, tours, auctions and more.

By the end of 2009, 20,000 FREE copies had been distributed to community groups throughout the country.

Due to the demand for the information contained in the guide, The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising is now available for purchase on CD. Click here to find out more.

Coin Trails
The idea of making a trail with coins has been around for generations, but has become less popular with the advent of EFTPOS. Coin trails can still work well provided participants are warned in advance to bring coins.

Choose a flat area of concrete and use chalk to draw out your logo, or a picture that relates to your organisation, or specific fundraising target. Encourage people to place coins on the picture to help colour it in.

"Just to let you know participants scored your presentation as a 5/5 in our evaluation report. You were described as a vibrant speaker and everyone wished it could have been longer. Thank you very much."

Catherine Clark

"You all did the most fantastic job (Tonic Conference). “Thank you so much” is scarcely adequate – I learnt so much and hugely enjoyed the time I spent meeting so many new people."
