Fundraising
Most years the Darebin Greens fundraising team organises a wide range of events, from our annual Spring garage sale to comedy nights with Rod Quantock and our very own Trent McCarthy, to film nights, Fringe Festival shows, pub band nights and concerts featuring local musicians.
We always have more ideas than people to implement them, so if you'd like to join a great team who have a lot of fun while they're doing the the important job of raising funds, please contact fundraising@greeningdarebin.org to find out how you can get involved.
Fundraising wishlist
Are you an E-bay addict? Like hosting dinner parties? Have a skill to share?
The list below has something for everyone – we just need more helpers to make these ideas happen. Some are major events the fundraising team needs extra help with. Others are low-key ideas you and your friends could take on yourselves, Some might involve a few hours a week on an ongoing basis; others are one-off, discrete tasks.
If something below appeals to you or you have other ideas, please let us know at fundraising@greeningdarebin.org
- Hold an eBay garage sale to sell all the great stuff we always have left over from our ‘real’ garage sales. Or you may have stuff of your own to sell!
- Organise a movie night at your local cinema or as part of a film festival
- Organise group tickets for a show or gig you are going to anyway
- Organise a Sunday afternoon music gig
- Host or organise your own fundraising event at home – a dinner party or afternoon tea, a cards or games night, costume party or movie night. It’s up to you! Invite your friends, have a cover charge and perhaps some games or a raffle. We can give you handy tips on organising your own event.
- Organise a speaker and discussion event on an issue you are passionate about
- Organise a practical workshop on something you are interested in – edible gardens, composting, crafts …..?
- Talk to your favourite local businesses about donating some goods or services as prizes or auction items
