Fundraising ideas

You can make a difference to the lives of animals in need

You can set up your own fundraising page and help to care for sick, injured and abandoned animals. You'll also be helping Inspectors to investigate reports of alleged animal cruelty and educate people on the importance of animal welfare.

The sky is the limit when it comes to fundraising! The RSPCA WA hosts a variety of fundraising events throughout the year that you can raise money for, or you can let your imagination run wild and create your own fundraising event!

Here are some fundraising ideas to get you started: 

  • Set up a Facebook Fundraiser. Click this link www.facebook.com/fund/RSPCAWA to set up your Facebook Fundraiser to celebrate your special occasion (birthdays, anniversaries, or just because!).
  • Challenge yourself (climb, swim, walk, run, skydive!)

  • Take Your Dog to Work Day - June every year

  • Compete – City to Surf, Colour Run, Busselton Iron Man, Rottnest Swim, Gibb River Challenge

  • Celebrate – birthdays, Christmas, pet birthdays or adoption anniversaries, weddings

  • Abstain – give up chocolate, cheese, or even shopping for a month (or more!)

  • Shave or Dye – off with the hair to support animals with skin disorders, or dye your hair a funky colour 

  • Host an event – bake cupcakes and pup-cakes, hold a movie night, a high tea party (animal themes are great fun), garage sale or lemonade stall

  • Hold a raffle at your workplace or in your community 

  • Corporate – morning teas, casual dress days, auction a day off work (and ask the boss to match the amount you raise!)

  • School fundraising – perhaps a lap-a-thon, a read-a-thon, or a bake sale!

 

How do I set up a Fundraising Page?

To set up your own fundraising page is easy.

  1. Click the button below, select "Fundraise" and fill in the form.
  2. Choose to raise money for an RSPCA Event or appeal, or you can choose to set up your own fundraising event.
  3. You'll receive an email asking you to confirm your details.
  4. When your own Fundraising Page for animals in need is up and running, share it via email or social media with your family, friends and colleagues and start raising money to help animals in need.

Setting up your own event

Here are some hints and tips for setting up your own Fundraising event to help animals in need.

  • Set an event budget - include costs like venue hire, food, refreshments, entertainment, printing and advertising.
  • Set a fundraising target - you want to cover your costs and make a profit to help the animals
  • Plan your activities
  • Ask suppliers for discounts - tell them you're raising money to help animals in need, or see if they'll lend you items to borrow instead of buying
  • Understand your fundraising responsibility - you and your team are responsible for managing and coordinating your event. 

Read our fundraising guidelines or email the fundraising team for more information if you need help or advice.
