Fundraising online is one of the easiest ways to raise funds for Youth Opportunities and once you sign up we welcome you as an official member of Team YO! Whether you are holding an event, taking on a challenge, or just asking people to support us, you can create your own fundraising page in just minutes
Here are some simple tips to get the most out of your personal fundraising page but if you would like a more comprehensive guide, download our official guide to fundraising below.
If you are holding a fundraising event for YO, please download our Authority to Fundraise application form and email to fundraising@youthopps.com.au Once approved, we can provide you an approval letter and access to some additional resources to help you in your fundraising efforts.
Get an idea on what your fundraising efforts can help us achieve. Your fundraising goal is a great way to motivate your supporters and allows you to track how much you’ve raised.
Even a small gift of $25, or maybe $50, shows your commitment, and will encourage others to donate.
Share your page across your social channels and email to encourage your family, friends and colleagues to support you in your effort to raise funds. You can also share your own story as to why you are raising funds, or one of our graduate stories to demonstrate the impact of your gift. If you have been waiting for that right time to ask your friends, now is definitely the time to seek their support. We also have posters you can download to promote your fundraiser.
Use the Youth Opportunities handle @youth_opportunities to tag us on Facebook or Instagram so we can help promote your fundraiser.

“Help me create a brighter future for young Australians experiencing adversity.
