This year with the Go Raise It platform we ended up raising over $30,000 which well in excess of what we had ever hoped to raise. Parents found it easy to forward the link on to relatives in other countries and Grandparents who are not very technology savvy easily managed to upload their donations

NO UPFRONT COSTS

That's right — you won't pay anything at any stage to us for your campaign! Our fees come out of the funds raised and the balance is deposited in your account.

CUSTOM BUILT WEBSITE

Our team takes your brand and your fundraising "why" and creates your very own custom fundraising website on our online fundraising platform.

YOUR OWN CAMPAIGN MANAGER

We don't just build you a website and leave you to it. We assign a Go Raise It Campaign Manager who will provide step-by-step guidance and fundraising ideas, whether that be a fun run for school, a colour run or any other fundraising event.

LOW COST = HIGH RETURNS

We believe in creating a fair and equitable return for schools & clubs. That is why you will find our fees the lowest of all similar programs.

FUNDRAISING MATERIALS PROVIDED

We know how time-pressed volunteer fundraisers are so we have taken that stress away with all communications material handcrafted by us!

Yes, volunteers are essential to making your school fun run a success. While Go Raise It provides full support with our event guides and the online platform, organising the event itself is up to the school. You’ll need a team of volunteers to assist on the day with tasks such as setting up the course, managing registration, handing out water and colour powder, and ensuring the safety of participants. We recommend recruiting parents, teachers, and community members to help everything run smoothly on event day.
