<strong>Fundraising</strong> for<br />

<strong>to</strong>day’s world<br />

A MODERN APPROACH FOR CHANGE<br />

<strong>The</strong> importance of fundraising events<br />

needs no explanation - especially amongst<br />

Australians. Whether a simple movie night<br />

or a big gala event, we’re all driven by a<br />

common fundraising goal: <strong>to</strong> better our<br />

local communities and bring <strong>to</strong>gether the<br />

resources needed for change.<br />

Sometimes it feels like there’s not enough<br />

time in the day <strong>to</strong> acheive all of our<br />

fundraising ideas or targets. Modern<br />

volunteers don’t just sit around all day - we’re<br />

all juggling other priorities like work, school,<br />

kids, and life in general.<br />

Don’t let the admin side of fundraising<br />

cause volunteer or community burnout. In a<br />

perfect world, paperwork, flyers, invitations,<br />

donations and receipts would complete<br />

themselves.<br />

But since we don’t live in a perfect world,<br />

let’s talk about the next best thing: online<br />

fundraising.<br />

ONLINE FUNDRAISING AND YOU<br />

<strong>Online</strong> fundraising is about more than just<br />

doing away with paperwork, or having a single<br />

system where you can manage everything<br />

from start <strong>to</strong> end..<br />

<strong>Online</strong> fundraising can empower you with the<br />

insight needed <strong>to</strong> take your fundraiser <strong>to</strong> the<br />

next level.<br />

It can give you quick, precise answers <strong>to</strong> the<br />

kinds of questions that’d normally take ages<br />

<strong>to</strong> research - like how people are discovering<br />

you, where they’re donating from and more.<br />

And if you’re running an event, it’s an easy<br />

way for guests <strong>to</strong> purchase tickets 24/7, enter<br />

raffles in advance and fill out their own RSVPs.<br />

Ultimately, online fundraising gives you time <strong>to</strong><br />

focus on your <strong>to</strong>p fundraising priorities whilst<br />

streamlining everything else. And it’s one of<br />

the biggest reasons why our fundraising sec<strong>to</strong>r<br />

has such a bright future ahead!<br />
