Be creative in spreading the word
Start your own online fundraising
Do you want to start a fundraising event of your own? You can with JustGiving. You can have your own online page where supporters, friends, work colleagues, Facebook friends or just about anyone can support you.
There are many online sites you could use. It might be an afternoon tea, entering a race, shaving your head or anything. You might just ask people to donate to help raise funds for wherever they are most needed in Heart for Kids.
Have fun and fundraise
Do you have a passion to support the work of our children’s programs? Why not hold a fundraising event with your friends, family, work mates or church group? It’s as easy as 1,2,3…
1. Choose a fundraising idea to suit your interests – e.g. if you are part of a craft group, you may decide to host a knitting, sewing or scrapbooking party and raise funds for Doves Wings.
2. Let us know what you are planning – we can supply you with some helpful information, materials and support.
3. Have fun! Enjoy the event and remember that every dollar raised is a huge help for the kids we serve in India, Indonesia and China.
When you meet up with friends share the Heart for Kids work.
Sometimes the opportunity will come up naturally but we’ve also been told how some supporters ask to be able to share with their friends about the work of Heart for Kids.
If friends know it’s close to your heart then they are usually happy to hear from you.
Invite a Speaker!
We have a variety of speakers, based in Sydney, available for your corporate, church or social event. Online tools makes it possible to speak with groups wherever you are.
When you spread the word about Heart For Kids, more unreached people will be reached – more lives changed, more children and families transformed!

mission conference
school/Sunday School

Hold a Heart for Kids party
Hold a party, with a purpose – a #LetsHelpOneMore party! This is where we take some creative fun and turn it into transformation.
Here are a few ideas!
Don’t go out and spend a lot in a restaurant… have a night in with your friends. Enjoy a movie, popcorn, chips and games – then donate what you would have spent on a night out.
Dance the night away with a dance or dress-up party.
Host a dinner party and raise money for your project of choice.
Make toys or other small projects like candles etc with friends and fundraise for our children.
Encourage guests to donate the value of the gift they were going to buy you to Heart for Kids at your next birthday party.
Enter an event
Enter an event such as a City to Surf run and encourage friends, family and colleagues to sponsor your run. You could also enter a bike ride, a walk or any type of event like these.
Do you have a hobby, sport, business, a special gift or ability which you could use to help raise funds for orphans or children living in poverty? What about your workplace? We have received fantastic support from workplace giving.
There are lots of creative ways you can help us to give the best two ways to see live s changed – Education and Sanitation
