Fundraising Company of the Year 2021
Winner – School Fun Run – The Fundraising Group
School Fun Run has been assisting Australian schools for 34 years. Any school, of any size can take part. It’s 100% self-funding with no financial risk and no products to sell.
Our online platform provides a cashless option for schools and allows people from all over the world to support the school. That removes the financial burden from local communities. It’s a full support fundraiser. A dedicated Fundraising Coach is appointed to each school. Coaches tailor-make plans to suit each event and help execute the plan to make sure it’s a success.
We aim to continue leading the School Fundraising industry through innovation. EG: As schools faced unprecedented hardship in the past two years, we developed Covid-safe procedures (like virtual Fun Runs) to ensure 400,000 kids could boost their wellbeing and their respective schools could raise over $15M.
The bottom line is that we create magic memories (for the community) and leave real legacy (for the committee). That’s our mission.
Runner Up – Expressions

These mementos are then offered to loved ones, raising valuable dollars for schools, childcare centres and clubs. It’s easy to run, everything’s supplied, and everybody loves them!
