Endometriosis is a condition that affects 1 in 7 women, yet its impact is often overlooked.
At Endometriosis Australia, we are dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and funding vital research and community fundraising plays a crucial role in helping us make a difference.
Whether you’re looking to make a small impact or host a large-scale event, we’re so grateful for every dollar raised. There are many creative ways you can fundraise in your community.
Here are some inspiring ideas to help you get started:
1. Host a Charity Event
Organising a community event is a fun and engaging way to raise funds. Whether it’s a trivia night, a silent auction, or a high tea, the possibilities are endless. Reach out to local businesses for sponsorships or donations and use your event to raise awareness about endometriosis. You can even make it an annual tradition to keep the momentum going!
2. Run a Marathon or Fun Run
If you’re into fitness (or even if you’re just getting started), why not combine your passion for exercise with a fundraising effort? Many people choose to run marathons, fun runs, or other physical challenges to raise money for causes close to their heart. You can set up your own fundraising page at endoaustraliafundraiser.org.au, and share it with your friends and family for support. These fundraising pages are easy to set up and self-manage.
3. Create a Virtual Challenge
In today’s connected world, you don’t need to gather a crowd in one place to raise funds. Virtual challenges, such as cycling a certain distance over a month or completing 30 days of yoga, can be a great way to engage supporters from all over. Encourage participants to create their own fundraising pages, track their progress, and challenge others to join in.
4. Bake Sale or Cooking Class
A classic but effective way to fundraise! Host a bake sale or cooking class in your community. You could set up at a local market, school, or community centre, and sell homemade goods or teach others how to make their favourite dishes. Not only will you raise money, but you’ll also have the opportunity to educate others about endometriosis by speaking to them about your experiences.
5. Host a Social Media Campaign
If you have a strong social media following, use it to your advantage! Share facts about endometriosis, personal stories, and the importance of supporting awareness and research. You can even tag us @endoaustralia. Sharing our campaigns and donation asks goes along way!
6. Partner with Local Businesses
Many businesses are willing to partner with causes they believe in. You could ask a local café, boutique, or gym to donate a portion of their sales for a specific day or week. Alternatively, you could work with them to create a special promotion where a percentage of profits goes to Endometriosis Australia. It’s a great way to increase awareness while supporting local businesses.
7. Set Up a Birthday Fundraiser
Have a birthday coming up? Instead of asking for gifts, why not ask your friends and family to donate to Endometriosis Australia? Setting up a birthday fundraising page on endoaustraliafundraiser.org.au is quick and easy, and every little bit helps us continue our important work.
How to get started!
We hope that you are feeling inspired. Starting a community fundraiser for Endometriosis Australia is simple. Just visit endoaustraliafundraiser.org.au, and you’ll be able to create your own fundraising page in minutes. Once your page is set up, you can manage it yourself, track donations, and promote your efforts across your social media channels. The money raised goes directly to supporting our mission: raising awareness, funding research, and supporting those affected by endometriosis.
Every dollar counts, and no matter how big or small the event, your efforts make a significant difference. Whether you’re rallying your community or running a personal challenge, you are helping us move closer to a world where endometriosis is understood, treated, and, one day, cured.
Thank you for supporting Endometriosis Australia. We couldn’t do this without you!
