Community fundraising  

Each year, community members generously donate their time and energy by organising fundraising events and activities for Vinnies.

From BBQ's to bake sales and everything in between, you can get creative and fundraise your own way for Vinnies.  Why not consider a Charity dinner, fun run, auction, raffle, morning tea, trivia night or sporting event? Fundraising is a great way to get your friends, family and community together to have fun and make a difference for people trying to get back on their feet.  However don’t let these ideas limit your creativity, sometimes the biggest fundraisers come from the most unique ideas!

Download our Community Fundraising Toolkit for ideas, tips, information and advice to help you plan a successful fundraising event.

In South Australia, we help over 130,000 people each year thanks to our community of donors and supporters. Contact our Schools and Community Engagement Officer for help to get started. Call 08 8112 8700 or email events@svdpsa.org.au.

Other ways you can get involved include...

Online fundraising

Fundraising online is a quick and easy way to gain support for your unique fundraising idea (for example you might like to collect donations instead of receiving a birthday or Christmas present!).  We can help you to set-up and build your online personal or team fundraising page and start promoting your fundraising idea.

Join an existing event

You have signed up to a local charity run or cycling challenge and want to fundraise while you train? We can help you to set up your own personal fundraising page and start training!  Contact the Schools and Community Engagement Officer to get started events@svdpsa.org.au

Host a Vinnies School or Community Sleepout

 

Vinnies School and Community Sleepouts provide a unique insight into the complex issues that people experiencing homelessness face; issues which are often overlooked and misunderstood by the wider community. Our fundraising team can assist by helping you plan for your sleepout event. Email your details to events@svdpsa.org.au  or download our Community Sleepout Information Kit here.
