On your marks, get set, go!
Embrace an old-school classic fun run! You can make our standard school fun run unique or add to your annual sports event and watch your profits race towards the finish line.
We all remember doing a standard school fun run! A great way to encourage physical activity, the added incentive of bonus prizes and extra inclusions make a school fun run a favourite of all ages. Standard fun runs are the easiest on the market, with minimal organisation and our flexible online fundraising platform.
Australian Fundraising’s school fun run can be adapted to suit any type of A-thon. Perhaps add a fundraising element to your annual sports event, a Lap-A-Thon or Walk-A-Thon. Or why not use our fundraising support to host a Spell-A-Thon. The opportunities are endless! McDowall State School used our standard school fun run to host a Spell-A-Thon and raised $80,000 over two events.
Forget the days of time consuming fundraisers, logistical nightmares and paperwork galore. Our school fun run is designed to put the fun back into fundraising!
Australian Fundraising have been making fundraising successful and stress-free by doing the heavy lifting for fundraising committees like yours. We can help you take your fundraising profits to new heights.
Although our online platform is the ultimate fundraising tool, the real results are generated by fundraising heroes. People who are committee members, just like yourself, and the generosity of your school community. We’ve helped raise more than $170 million for schools and organisations since 1999. We promise that you are in good hands!

Online Fundraising
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.
Show me the money!
Australian Fundraising is dedicated in pouring more into your bank account this year.
You will save thousands of dollars with FREE online platform fees and no credit card and transaction fees. That makes our online platform entirely free for you.

Incentive Prizes or Go Green
We Innovate to Motivate
Add excitement and boost participation with our innovative selection of incentive prizes! Our huge range of popular toys and gadgets reward participants for fundraising, motivating them to reach their fundraising goal.
Offering more prizes across every fundraising milestone, students only need to raise $10 to receive a prize! From squish balls to electronics, every participant will aim for prizes they love.
Students will aim for bigger prizes, sharing in $200,000 of free extra prize credit! Collect Golden Coins on our online platform and claim them for real-life prize credit. Incentive prizes are an incredible way to motivate students and families to fundraise! They add an additional level of excitement and anticipation that is separate to your event day.
Bigger and better prizes are just the beginning with Australian Fundraising.
Care for a Cause – Care Today, Change Tomorrow!
Choosing to support five 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 four remarkable organisations and create a lasting impact with our School Run 4 Fun and Glowtastic Disco Party fundraisers.
Best of all, you can either choose to do this option on behalf of the whole school, or 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 children to succeed at school through The Smith Family’s student2student reading program
- 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.
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 School Run 4 Fun or Glowtastic Disco Party and select the ‘Care For A Cause‘ or ‘Traditional‘ prize option.

Our Clients are Our Best Spokespeople
Very easy to set up and coordinate leading to a fantastic experience! The students and teachers had a blast, with almost the entire school participating! The online fundraising component certainly was beneficial for families who didn’t have to go around the neighbourhood and door knock. We exceeded our fundraising goal by 50%!! Thank you for providing a brilliant experience!
Lauren EaglesBoth parents and students were extremely happy with prizes. As this is the first year we have gone through Australian Fundraising it has been very well received by everyone, from setting up new profiles and ordering. Very keen to sign ourselves up for future fundraising.
Marguerite EfstathisAustralian Fundraising is an amazing business to deal with. Nothing is ever too much trouble and help is just an email or phone call away. I would highly recommend the School Run 4 Fun.
