Ready to become a pre-registration pro? Let’s dive into those questions.
1. When do I need to pre-register by?
- Pre-registrations close on 20 December 2024.
2. Why should I pre-register?
- It helps you to plan out which terms next year you’ll be doing fundraisers. You get access to bonuses you wouldn’t normally get – either 50% more colour powder, 50% more slime, a FREE push Razor scooter, or glow necklaces (dependant on the programs you pre-register for).
3. How far in advance should I pre-register my fundraiser?
- You will be pre-registering for 2025, and it’s up to you when you host it. If you aim for anywhere from end of Term 1 you will have ample time for planning and early promotion.
4. What information do I need to have ready when pre-registering?
- Basic requirements include your organisation details, the term you wish to run it, and primary contact information.
5. What happens if I need to change my fundraiser date after pre-registering?
- You only need to give us an indication as to which Term you would like to host your fundraiser when you pre-register. The date will be set in 2025 when you submit your booking form, and modifications are still fine then. We are happy to work in with you.
6. Are there benefits to pre-registering versus regular registration?
- Pre-registration includes bonuses if you book any of our fundraising programs: FREE push Razor scooters, 50% MORE colour powder, 50% MORE slime or 50 glow necklaces.
7. What if my fundraising goal changes after pre-registration?
- Goals can be adjusted at any time – pre-registration merely secures your event fundamentals.
8. Can I pre-register if I’m not sure of a date?
- Yes, just let us know the term and you can finalise the booking next year.
9. Can I still access the bonuses next year if I don’t pre-register in time?
- Unfortunately, no. If you don’t pre-register by 20 December 2024, the bonuses will no longer be available once the pre-registration period ends.
10. Can I pre-register for more than one event?
- In fact, we recommend it. A lot of schools and groups book in a Colour Fun Run for summer, and a Billy G’s Gourmet Cookie Dough fundraiser for winter.
11. What happens after I submit my pre-registration?
- You’ll be sent an email confirming the details you have given us. We will then follow you up in 2025 to assist you with your booking. When you are ready to book your fundraiser in 2025, you simply complete the online booking form to claim your bonuses at https://australianfundraising.com.au/book-now/.
12. Can I cancel if I need to?
- We know things happen, so if you need to cancel it’s not a problem. The only thing that will happen is you will lose access to your Ealy Bonus Bonanza Prizes for 2025.
13. How do I pre-register?
- To pre-register, simply visit https://australianfundraising.com.au/2025 and complete the form. Pre-registration closes on 20 December 2024, and our Early Bonus Bonanza Prizes won’t be available after that date. Don’t let this opportunity slip through your fingers – your future self will thank you!
