Can we fundraise during COVID-19?
Of course! Even the toughest restrictions do not prevent you from fundraising entirely! Your fundraiser may look and feel different, but you can still go ahead and raise an awesome amount of money for your school or group.
What is the best COVID-19 friendly fundraiser?
All of our fundraising programs at Australian Fundraising are designed for COVID-Safe fundraising, including our Colour Explosion School Run 4 Fun! Each fundraising program is managed entirely online, and comes with free online fundraising to prevent cash handling!

Our students are remote learning. What now?
Remote learning is a challenge for any school, but it can be particularly disheartening for schools in the middle of a fundraiser.
However, a fundraiser can be a great way to keep school spirit alive while your community is apart. Fundraisers can help participants feel like they belong to a cause, are involved in a group activity, and are engaged in some healthy competition!
At Australian Fundraising, our programs come with an entirely FREE online fundraising platform, complete with online communication tools to connect with your fundraisers. Participants can also see their class and school leaderboard, to know exactly where they sit in the race to the top!
If your students are remote learning, you may need to reschedule your Fun Run event until students are back on campus.
Do we have to cancel our event?
No – you do not need to cancel your event!
If you are hosting a Billy G’s Gourmet Cookie Dough fundraiser, we can delay delivery of your cookie dough until you are ready to distribute your cookie dough safely. Or, you could set up a drive-through pick-up station in your school car park! There are many ways to manage Billy G’s Gourmet Cookie Dough safely, even in the middle of a pandemic!
Your School Run 4 Fun event can be easily altered to ensure students, staff and volunteers are COVID-safe, yet still have the brightest and most exciting day at school. Small changes make your School Run 4 Fun event both spectacular and safe, such as:
- Have participants run in class in class groups
- Remove contact-based obstacles (such as inflatables)
- Ensure all staff and volunteers wear masks, and social distance where possible
- Keeping students outdoors for as long as possible before and after the race
