Community fundraising event ideas and examples
There are plenty of fun and engaging ways to raise funds to support your community. Find one that suits you or come up with your own idea!
​
To get you started here are some ideas and examples of how others have challenged themselves and raised funds for Lifeline.
Get mobile for charity
Enter a fun run, walk, or bike ride event and have family, friends and colleagues sponsor you.
Dinner and Auction
Organise a dinner with friends, family and colleagues and include an auction to raise more funds, seek out local businesses who may be interested in donating goods to auction.
Movie marathon
Get together with friends, share your favourite movies, grab some ice cream and popcorn and donate what it would usually cost to go to the cinema.
Undertake a personal challenge and be sponsored
Give up chocolate, learn a new skill, go on a long hike or other physical challenge.
Donations in lieu of gifts
Instead of Christmas, wedding or birthday gifts, why not consider asking for donations instead.
Seasonal or themed fair
Hold a fair, selling crafts, cakes, cards and homemade gifts.
Trivia night
Host a trivia night and charge an entry fee. If you hold a trivia night in a pub, restaurant, club or café, you could ask the owner to donate some takings from the night.
Wash cars, mow lawns or other odd jobs
Offer your services to friends, family and neighbours and get them to make a donation in lieu of what they would normally be charged.
Hold a talent quest or karaoke night
Dare your friends to perform by sponsoring their talent!
Dress up day
Get together with your school mates or colleagues and sponsor the principal or boss to dress up for the day. Persuade them to match the funds raised and donate themselves!
Friends night in
Ask your friends to bring a dish, have a night in and donate what money would usually be spent on a night out.
Second hand clothing fashion parade and sale
Get together with friends and donate clothing that isn’t wanted anymore, price the items, hold a fashion parade and sell them to the highest bidder.
