Volunteer fundraising
Volunteer fundraising is an easy way for you to contribute to Melbourne Citymission’s vision of giving disadvantaged people the best chance to participate socially and economically in our society.
Volunteer fundraising is also a great way to have some fun with your colleagues, harness community support, develop strong team relationships within your organisation, and build staff morale.

If you’re thinking about holding a fundraising event for Melbourne Citymission, here is a quick list to get you started:
- Think outside the square. Do something different to make your event stand out from the crowd — something unusual is more likely to be noticed.
- Match the event to the cause. Chose an appealing theme that complements not only your organisation’s vision and mission but also Melbourne Citymission’s.
- Match the event to your audience’s needs. What kind of event would your supporters find most appealing? It’s important to choose something that your audience will enjoy and engage with.
- Partner with other organisations. This can help you distribute the workload and have a greater impact.
- Think about your event over the longer-term. How does the event fit into your organisations community support program? Is it an event that can be repeated or an event that can grow each year?
