Every year we help thousands of vulnerable children/tamariki, families/whānau and older people/kaumātua throughout the Upper South Island.
It costs us over $10m per annum to provide our service to the community and we rely upon the generosity of our community to continue our important work.
Whether you fundraise as a group, or an individual, you can design a fundraising activity to suit your capabilities and enthusiasm.
Remember, any amount raised is much appreciated and will go towards helping vulnerable individuals, whānau and communities.
Below are some popular fundraising ideas for you to consider. If you would like to discuss your fundraising idea with us please get in touch - we'd love to hear from you!
We also encourage you to register your event on our Givealittle page, you can then share your activity on your social media platforms to gain more interest and support.
These fundraising activities have been around a long time because they are great fun, and they work! Remember, raffles and lotteries with a prize worth $500 or more require a special licence from the Department of Internal Affairs.
You know what they say - one person's trash is another one's treasure! Declutter your home and have a garage sale with proceeds (either part or all) helping people in need. Put a sign up to encourage people to give to a great cause!
Have a dress-up day at school or a 'dress down' day at work. Encourage everyone to wear onesies, PJ's, or have a colour theme - wear blue for Presbyterian Support! Take donations from those who join in and even larger donations for those who don't!
Set yourself a personal challenge and take part in a fun run, triathlon or marathon event. Register your event on our Givealittle page encourage your friends and whānau to support you by making a donation.
Bring people together for a fun event and ask people to donate in exchange for a ticket. Movie nights, pub quiz, bake sale, art auctions, golf day - the options are endless. You could also organise raffles and spot prizes donated by local businesses.
