Fundraising starts with fun!

Are you thinking about using your time and talents to fundraise for Compassion and help give children a hope more powerful than poverty? Below are some suggestions to get you heading in the right direction—but remember, no two fundraisers are the same, so put your own personal spin on things.

Events

Whether you’re climbing Mt Kilimanjaro or baking cupcakes, every event comes with its own challenges and joys. We can help you with everything you need to get this going!

Gifts in Lieu

One of the simplest ways to raise funds is to simply ask your friends and family to donate to Compassion in lieu of a gift for your birthday, anniversary or other milestone. We can help you get it happening.

Online Fundraising

Tap into your online networks with Everyday Hero or GoFundraise! It’s easy to build some buzz for your fundraiser, be encouraged (and find volunteers to help you) and even—when the time is right—ask your friends to give.

  • What is Compassion Australia's relationship with Hillsong Church?

    Compassion Australia is an independent, non-denominational organisation and is not exclusively affiliated to any one church. In fact, we partner with scores of different denominations, both here in Australia and around the world.

    We have a strong partnership with Hillsong Church, as we do with many churches around Australia. Like these churches, we believe that the Christian Church is uniquely placed and tasked with caring for those living in poverty, particularly children.
