For an Australian school, P&C or club, choose between online product orders, a donation appeal and a sponsored activity. Raised supports these formats without a setup fee or monthly subscription. Card transactions carry fees, and Australian product pricing and payment options need checking before you publish.

## Who will run the fundraiser?

Agree whether the school, P&C or club is the organiser and recipient. Give the person handling accounts a copy of the budget, campaign dates and supplier agreement. Do not assume the school and its P&C have the same banking or accounting arrangements.

Name a backup organiser. If the volunteer changes midway through the campaign, someone else needs to know which orders are paid and when deliveries are due.



## How do Australian product prices work?

Australian product campaigns normally build card costs into displayed prices. Supporters see the price before checkout. These campaigns take card payments only. Cash and bank transfer can be available when the organisation chooses to absorb card fees instead.

Donation campaigns take card payments. Check the Australian pricing explanation for who pays and what your group retains. Include product costs and freight when estimating net proceeds.



## What should your first campaign include?

Keep the first campaign within the time your volunteers have. An online platform helps manage the information, but it does not run the physical event or distribute the products.

1. Agree a purpose, target and person responsible.
2. Confirm supplier delivery coverage and the final order date.
3. Set payment and collection instructions.
4. Share one link in the P&C or club's usual channels.
5. Reconcile payments and expenses before reporting the final proceeds.
