Don’t Waste Your Time Fundraising — Do This Instead

Don’t Waste Your Time Fundraising — Do This Instead

Say Goodbye to Cheap Sunglasses and HELLOOOOOO…. to FUN, EASY, PROFIT!

Deliver value where it counts!

If you’ve ever felt like school fundraising is just too hard, you’re not alone!

The biggest challenge is always getting families to actually participate in collecting donations or selling items. It’s where most of your time, energy, and effort goes… and if you're part of a P&C or P&F, that grind can quickly lead to burnout.

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to do all that work anymore; because we’ve done it for you!

In fact, this is how easy a School Fun Run can be….

The very first time we helped Avalon Public School and Lindfield Public School they raised $90,043 and $91,858 respectively. What makes these events special is their fundraising coordinators were both on holidays during the fundraising phase.

  • Sharon from Avalon was in Bali, and

  • Annabelle from Lindfield was in the Whitsundays!

Does your fundraising feel that well supported?

In short, we’ve built a smarter way to fundraise. Our proven strategies are tailor-made, time-saving, and turnkey — designed to take the pressure off your fundraising committee and make school fundraising enjoyable.

We’re Not Gimmicky — We’re Practical and Proven

Before I get into our strategies, I want to acknowledge that some Australian fundraising providers offer you sales gimmicks like cheap sunglasses and headbands. These things sound good in theory, but here’s why we don’t spend your money on promotional items like that:

  • They don’t solve your biggest challenge of getting profiles created, which are the key to getting donations,

  • They won’t help you raise more funding for your school, but

  • They will add more operational tasks to your already-full plate, because you have to hand them out pre-event and pick them up post-event.

So, if we don’t give you sunnies - what do we give you?

We invest in real tools that create real rewards for you. Things that minimise your physical workload, reduce your mental load and maximise your school’s profit — which is part of the reason we’re the ONLY school fundraising company ever named “Fundraising Company of the Year” by an independent panel at The Fundraising Awards. Something we’ve achieved seven times!

The School Fun Run Difference - Plug-and-Play support

So, let’s get into it.

When you partner with School Fun Run, you get access to well-thought-out, proven school fundraising strategies, backed by ready-to-use promotional materials, engagement tools, and a dedicated fundraising coach to help you every step of the way.

It means you don’t have to stress about all the ways you might be able to encourage families to create Student Profile Pages and fundraise for your school; we do it for you so you don’t have to think about it! Here are some practical examples of how we help… like no one else in the school fundraising industry can:

💰 $150,000 in Parent Prizes with FUNZY

To get your families excited about creating Student Profile Pages from day one (which is the key to getting donations), all parents who create a page will get free access to our FUNZY Rewards Club for the entire duration of your School Fun Run — and it’s packed with value. They can win:

  • $50 gift card giveaways daily

  • $1,000 cash draws weekly

  • $10,000 prize each term

  • Big discounts from top brands like JB Hi-Fi, Mattel & more

Side note - If you would like to try FUNZY for yourself, call Dean on 1800 FUN RUN (386 786) and ask for a promotional code. We’d be very happy to let you experience our rewards club so you know what your families can experience for getting behind your school fundraiser.

🧊 144 Berri Quelch Juice Sticks for an Icy Pole Challenge

To further boost Student Profile Page creation, in the first week of fundraising, we’ll give you a fully resourced Icy Pole Challenge! The class with the most Student Profile Pages wins an Icy Pole Party — we supply the box of 144 juicy sticks and the promo assets you’ll need to run it.

🎁 $500 in Prize Credit to Motivate Students

To reinforce the above two strategies and ensure Student Profile Page creations reach record levels, we’ll send each student a wristband with a unique code. When families create their Student Profile Page and enter that unique code, they go into a random draw to win a $500 prize credit — redeemable on School Fun Run rewards! Again, everything is supplied for you.

😄 Slime Pool & Slime for Fundraising Milestones

The three turn key strategies above will engage your community and get Student Profile Pages created. Then, once the fundraising is rolling in, we’ll help you celebrate your fundraising achievements with epic Milestone Slime Challenges! Each fundraising milestone hit triggers a >>> teacher sliming <<<

In turn, the slimings keep kids super engaged, build school spirit and keep energy high. We supply the slime and the slime pool — you bring the fun.

🧠 Personal Fundraising Coach — Your New Secret Weapon

To help you manage it all, you’ll be paired with a dedicated Fundraising Coach who will act as your executive assistant, they’ll:

  • Build a custom fundraising plan for your school

  • Monitor your event and provide expert advice

  • Track fundraising trends that are working in other schools and share them with you

  • Provide ready-to-go social media content and all other documentation

  • Help you run the smoothest, most profitable event possible

This year, we’ve even added more coaches to keep caseloads low — which means more hands-on support for you.

✅ Fundraising Results — Guaranteed

We don’t just promise you better results — we guarantee them.

Some Australian fundraising providers will give you a discount straight up, and that makes sense because as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. At School Fun Run we never discount. Instead, what we do is work harder to ensure your success. Our profit share model means we are in this together with you. We back your success with our NET PROFIT PROMISE:

  • If your school doesn’t bank more net profit with us than you’ve done in ANY past Fun Run with ANY other provider, we’ll slash our invoice by 25%. That’s how confident we are.

How can we do this? Great question… Well for starters, no one gets close to our numbers. For example, we’re the ONLY school fun-run company to have helped any school raise over $100,000 in a single event — and we’ve not done that just once, we’ve achieved this amazing feat seven times and counting.

Ready to Raise More with Less Stress?

You’ve got better things to do than think up ways to have families collect donations and manage the distribution of sunglasses.

SO, why not let us handle the heavy lifting with a fundraising system that is proven to work — backed by expert support, exciting rewards for your families, and a proven track record since 1987!
