Technology that drives results!

It’s now easier than ever to boost your fundraising profits with an exciting, gamified, user-friendly online fundraising platform.

We have made our cyber-safe online platform as robust as possible, to help ease the load on your volunteers and encourage BIG donations from your school community.

You will benefit from huge advancements to our online fundraising platform, now with gamification elements to encourage engagement and $200,000 in free sponsorship credits. You can elevate your fundraising achievements beyond what would be otherwise possible.

It is of critical importance that we ensure the safety of children who use our online fundraising platforms. We were the first school fun run company to ensure photos of children do not appear online with reference to their name and organisation. Children can now create their own avatar. With this in mind, we’ve implemented the best practice solution to benefit from online fundraising whilst keeping children safe online.

Bigger and better prizes are just the beginning with Australian Fundraising.

Care for a Cause – Care Today, Change Tomorrow!

Choosing to support six amazing causes instead of pursuing incentive prizes reflects a deep commitment to purpose and community. It’s driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact to communities and the environment throughout Australia. Growing on the success of our Go Green fundraisers, Australian Fundraising now offers an exclusive opportunity to support five remarkable organisations and create a lasting impact with our Monty the Monstar Fun Run.

Best of all, you can let families decide whether they want prizes or to donate independently when you choose the Traditional Prize Option.

Here’s how you can make a difference:

  • Help BRIGHTEN the lives of sick kids and make hospital a bit more FUN through the Starlight Children’s Foundation
  • Reduce food waste and help feed vulnerable people in need with OzHarvest
  • You can choose to support The Great Barrier Reef Foundation who will plant one coral to help save our Reef and its marine life for future generations, or you can support the work being done to help protect the turtles.
  • Make a difference to one of our country’s most valuable yet devastated ecosystems when you plant trees with Carbon Neutral.
  • Take a stand against bullying with Dolly’s Dream, to act as a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves and spread kindness to create a sense of togetherness and community.

How to book

If you’d like to raise funds for your school and actively make a difference to the environment and your community, book your chosen Monty the Monstar Fun Run and select the ‘Traditional‘ prize option. Families can then choose to ‘Care For A Cause’ instead of receiving prizes.
