How the Community Fundraising and Events Team can help your Conference fundraise!
The Community Fundraising and Events Team is available to assist all Conferences with community fundraising so that you can continue to raise funds and assist those in your local community.
Please see below some ways in which we can work together.
1. Personalised Conference Online Fundraising Page
We have our portal for Conference fundraising activities within NSW. Our personalised pages gives your conference a personalised alternative (and a unique QR code) to the general Christmas Appeal link. It will reflect your own activity (the sky’s the limit!), your own funds raised and serve as a great tool to include in all parish and conference communications online and via email (to local businesses, family and friends also).
For those of you who are yet to use it, please take a look at this ad for more information and this link

3. Shopping Centre Collections

We can provide you an Authority to Fundraiser Letter, unique QR Code and link to your very own personalised Vinnies Fundraising Page or buckets for physical donations.
4. School Sleepouts, Community Sleepouts or Fundraise Your Way Initiatives
- Do you have schools that fundraise for your conference via a Vinnies School Sleepout or a fundraise your way event? Then tell them to head to the following links: http://fundraise.vinniesnsw.org.au/create-your-own-vinnies-school-sleepout/ and https://fundraise.vinniesnsw.org.au/fundraise-your-way
- Do you have local businesses or community groups (you could even hold your own community sleepout and raise funds for yourselves!) that fundraise for your conference via a Vinnies Community Sleepout? Then tell them to head to the following link: https://fundraise.vinniesnsw.org.au/create-your-own-vinnies-community-sleepout/
- Are there other events or fundraising activities that occur throughout the year in support of your conference which would benefit from having its own personalised fundraising page? Then head to the following link: https://fundraise.vinniesnsw.org.au/fundraise-your-way/
- When a school, business or community group registers their fundraising activity on this site, they can nominate your conference as the recipient of their funds.
5. Team Vinnies
Team Vinnies will be back in 2024 for another year of amazing events and fun which, through your participation, will raise much-needed funds for the most vulnerable in our community.
