Do I Have to Fundraise for Something Specific?
No, you don’t. The Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) gives you the flexibility to fundraise for any campaign, initiative, or goal that supports and advances sport in Australia. Whether you’re raising funds for:
- Equipment upgrades
- Facility improvements
- Competition expenses, including travel
- Community sports programs
- Coaching and training resources
- Or any other sporting need
We’re here to help you make it happen.
Tailor Your Fundraising to Your Needs
Your campaign can be as focused or as broad as you need it to be. Some fundraisers concentrate on a single project, like building a new clubhouse or purchasing team uniforms. Others raise funds to support ongoing needs, such as running junior development programs or maintaining facilities.
Keep it Clear and Transparent
While you have the freedom to choose what you fundraise for, it’s important to communicate your goals clearly to your donors. Transparency builds trust and keeps supporters engaged.
Need help articulating your goals? The ASF offers templates and resources to help you create clear, compelling campaigns.
Examples of Flexible Fundraising
- Local Club Development: A community football club raises funds for both new goalposts and their annual youth training camp.
- Elite Athlete Support: An individual athlete fundraises for international competition fees and ongoing coaching expenses.
- Inclusive Sports Programs: A netball association raises money for wheelchair-accessible courts and inclusive coaching workshops.
Future Feature: Direct Donations
We’re always working to improve how we support fundraisers. Soon, you’ll be able to receive donations directly to yourself, your group, or your club/organisation. This feature will streamline the process of managing and accessing donations, giving you even more control and flexibility. Stay tuned for updates!
