The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising

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.

Easter Egg Hunt
Either seek sponsorship for a whole heap of Easter eggs, or ask members to bring in donations in the weeks leading up to the event. Choose a specific park, reserve, or section of your grounds where the hunt will take place and then sell tickets to people who want to take part. On the morning of the event, hide all your eggs and, at a specified start time, let everybody go hunting.

To make sure everybody goes home with some eggs, it is a good idea to have two separate hunts - one for young children and one for older children. You may also like to hold back a few bonus treats for anyone who misses out during the hunt. Remember to note how many eggs you hide and how many are collected. That way you can check if there are any left to find.
