Running a DIY Fun Run
If you are looking to host a fun run fundraiser, you may be considering a DIY fun run event! With colourful dust filling the air or slippery slime shot in all directions, Colour and Slime Funs Runs are sure to be an awesome experience for everyone involved. So why not make the most of the excitement and anticipation and fundraise in a way that brings in MAXIMUM profits?
Keeping control of your fundraising costs and opting to run your Fun Run alone can seem like an appealing option. However, time and time again we see schools taking a cut in net profit when they choose to run their Fun Run themselves. Not only does each participant contribute less money to the fundraiser, schools and group miss out on extra event inclusions, step-by-step support and the custom built, gamified online fundraising platform that we offer.
There is a better choice for fundraising – and that’s one that gives you the biggest return on your investment! Discover how you can bank a bigger buck with Australian Fundraising.

Raise More Net Profit
If you’re serious about your fundraising goals, you’ll choose a fundraiser that has a track record of bringing in BIG net profits. Australian Fundraising pioneered the School Colour Explosion Fun Run, and have over five years of incredible school results to back up our success.

DIY Fun Runs and Ticket Sales
If you are running a DIY Fun Run and selling tickets (instead of having students collect donations), you are limiting the amount of profit you can raise. Rather than allowing students to contribute $10 or $100 each, you are limiting their contribution to the price of a ticket (in many cases, $10 per student).
If you run a DIY fun run, you may also be running the risk of a loss if your participants are too few, or surprise costs (such as obstacles, promotional material printing or theme decorations) exceed your income. Choosing a fundraising provider like Australian Fundraising is ensures that you have nothing to worry about it when it comes to making a profit!
Put the fun back into fundraising, and raise more net profit from your Fun Run fundraiser.
Child-focused online fundraising platform
When working with students, it’s important that everything is tailored to their unique way of thinking! This includes online fundraising. Students are drawn towards elements that move, light up and encourage them to unlock new milestones.
A custom built, gamified online platform will be the most successful way to encourage students to fundraise. You can’t just find this anywhere!
At Australian Fundraising, students raising 3x more when they fundraise online (compared to in cash)! It’s obvious that our exciting, Monster themed fundraising platform is the best way to achieve your biggest net profits!
Australian Fundraising has a custom built online fundraising platform, perfect for cybersafe school fundraising!
Can’t we just use GoFundMe? You could use another crowd-funding site like GoFundMe, but there are some issues. Firstly, GoFundMe is not designed for children or education departments. This means it lacks the exciting child-like features that motivate students to keep coming back! It’s also internationally based, meaning that your data is not subject to the strict Australian privacy and security laws that apply to Australian-owned and operated platforms like ours. Finally, you will lose hundreds of dollars in set up fees – fees that are entirely waived with Australian Fundraising!
Motivate Your Community to Fundraise
Choose a fundraiser that gives you more than just materials for a fun run. When you choose Australian Fundraising, you can motivate your community to fundraise with incentive prizes, competitions, game-based online fundraising and every resource you need to succeed!
Running a DIY fundraising program alone doesn’t come with these incentives – and can cost you thousands to arrange yourself! Incentive prizes and competitions also take hours to organise, purchase and distribute without the help of a dedicated fundraising company doing the heavy lifting for you.
