SUPER MUMS, PROUD DADS, AND DEDICATED TEACHERS WORK WITH US TO MAKE MAGIC MEMORIES AND LEAVE LASTING LEGACIES!
WE'RE HERE TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER WITH AWESOME SCHOOL FUNDRAISING.
You’re here because you want to do something great for your kids, and we love that! It’s why we’ve been helping school communities create magical memories since 1987.
Being the original School Fun Run (Est 1987), we’ve been helping generations of Australians enjoy this school fundraising idea. In fact, some of our parents actually ran in our program when they were at primary school!
Providing you with personalised service is our commitment. You’ll get a dedicated Fundraising Coach to achieve that level of support. We know fundraising, but you know your school, and every school is different. So, we’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure you get the kind of service that makes you a fundraising superstar.
That’s one reason why School Fun Run has been awarded the title “FUNDRAISING COMPANY OF THE YEAR” 7 times!
It’s also why Fundraising Coordinators have such nice things to say about School Fun Run (which we really appreciate). You should definitely take a minute to read their thoughtful comments here: Google Reviews.
Plus, it’s the reason we don’t just hold the national record for schools’ fundraising with a Fun Run; School Fun Run is the only provider to have schools raising over $100,000 in a single Fun Runs. Our Highest Fundraising School is Milton Public with $114,058. Our Highest Fundraising Student went to Waverley College and raised $33,400.
Welcome to the easiest and most profitable school fundraising idea in Australia — you're in safe hands with us!

School Fundraising Company of the Year!
…7 YEARS RUNNING!
You're never alone when you hold a School Fun Run! That's because you'll be assigned a Fundraising Coach to support you throughout the entire process. Your Coach will proactively assist you from start to finish to ensure you hold a highly successful school fundraiser!
You'll soon get to know that we respect your commitment to making something great happen for your kids! Your Fundraising Coach will create a custom fundraising plan with you, but that’s just the beginning. They’ll monitor your progress and help you in every way they can. Their job is to make your life easy. Fundraising Coordinators (like you) usually get in touch with us because they're sick of boring school fundraisers, they don't want the hassle of a buy & sell fundraising, or they want to avoid the risks of a School Fete. School Fun Run is the perfect way to empower your community and bank a big profit. Our school fundraiser is filled with cheeky smiles, lively laughter and buzzing school spirit!
We know that fundraising for your school can be tough, but we have the experience and resources to make sure that your school fundraiser is a success. Plus, we're always here wanting to help you out. Whether you're looking for advice on how to get started or tips on how to maximise your profit, your Fundraising Coach is always just a phone call away.
So, if you're looking for a fully inclusive school fundraiser that is 100% self-funding, provides full support to you, is epic fun for the kids, is easy to operate, and has proven to be highly profitable, then you’re in the right place. But, it doesn’t just stop there, School Fun Run is a cashless fundraiser with nothing to sell. That means there is no financial obligation or set fees at any stage for the families or donors. It’s pure no pressure fundraising,
Everyone from the Preppies to the Principals get involved, have a blast, and raise money for your school while sharing the BEST DAY EVER as a community!

School Fun Run - FAQS
-
We offer a range of services to help with your fundraising needs, including Crazy Colour Days, fun run events, and more. We also provide a Fundraising Coach to help you every step of the way. Browse our website for more school fundraising ideas.
You don’t need a budget to start (our events are 100% self-funding) and there is no financial risk, annual fee or out-of-pocket transaction fees or expenses. Because we work on a profit share basis, there are no financial risks to your school - which is another reason we work so hard for you.
First, we suggest starting your event day with a dress-up competition. This will get your day of right by getting everyone in a fun mood. Before the School Fang Run starts, students can/should change (if they wish) into less valuable clothes. That’s important because this event will be pretty messy! Yep, the event day itself is essentially a School Fun Run… but with a spooky twist. Instead of using brightly coloured powder that leaves your kids looking like rainbows, with this Halloween fundraiser, your kids will be covered in Black, Red and Yellow powder. Plus, to take this to the next level, we’ll also send you gory green and ruby red slime to cover them in. When it’s all done, your students will look like smiling survivors of a zombie apocalypse.

A colour run for a school or charity can raise money for any number of different causes. Many schools decide to spend the funds raised from the colour run on legacy items like playground equipment, air-conditioning, or even resurfacing the school courts.
A colour run is held to have fun, raise money for a good cause, and make lasting memories. It’s a fantastic way to foster community and create lasting connections. Additionally, it's a great way to fundraise for whatever cause your community is looking to support!
-
We use safe, natural corn-starch to make a talc-free colour powder for our fun runs. This means that the colours are completely safe for children, animals, and the environment.
-
No, the Colour Fun Run is not a competition. It’s all about having fun and supporting a good cause. That doesn't mean there aren't prizes up for grabs however!
We have a range of incentive prizes on offer to reward students for their fundraising effort. The School Fun Run's lifeblood is its student prizes. They motivate the student body to participate actively in your fundraiser.
We take our prizes seriously - after all, bigger prizes lead to better fundraising! And because we offer automated prize ordering through our wonderful website, there’s no need for the School Fun Run coordinator waste time creating pesky spreadsheets!
