Engaging fundraising ideas for your school, community and workplace
Looking for fun and meaningful fundraising ideas for your school?
JoinoJoinEveryJoin our mission to one is welcome to join our mission to ensure a healthy future for the endangered animals that live at Aussie Ark. By participating in any of our school fundraisers, you will provide your students with the opportunity to discover all about some amazing Aussie animals whilst raising funds to help some of our most endangered species. Our fundraisers have been set up so most of the work is done for you. All you need to do is:
- Choose which one of our four programs your school will take part in;
- Promote your chosen fundraiser at your school through your classroom, school newsletter or assembly announcements;
- Encourage students throughout the year to raise funds;
- Let Aussie Ark know how much money the school raised to receive one of our awesome rewards.
