Making a difference.Your guide to fundraising forOvarian Cancer Australia.

Each year, more than 1,500 Australian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, the deadliest female cancer. Contrary to what many believe, a cervical screening (pap smear) will not detect ovarian cancer – in fact there is no early detection test.

With your help, we can save lives and support women.

Raffle: Collect lots of lovely prizes and host a raffle at your event.

Auction: Ask businesses, friends or family to donate desirable items or experiences and auction them off to the highest bidder!

Challenge: Think up a difficult task or activity that you know will challenge you, and ask friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you to do it.

Game: Host a games night, and play your favourite games, with all winnings going to OCA as a donation!

Sale: Bake some treats and sell your goodies at work or at a local community gathering.

Ticket/Entry fee: Host party or dinner and charge your guests for a ticket!

Promote your event or campaign by setting up an online fundraising page.

This will allow your guests/participants to donate online and see how you are progressing with your fundraising goal.

You can post updates, photos and comment on donations on your own page. It’s easy to share on Facebook and by email to all your friends and family.

Visit: ovariancancer.net.au/fundraise and follow the prompts to start

your online fundraising!

Do I need an Authority to Fundraise? An Authority to Fundraise enables you to legally fundraise on behalf of Ovarian Cancer Australia. If you don’t have a valid Authority to Fundraise from Ovarian Cancer Australia, please get in touch with our fundraising team on 1300 660 334 or at fundraising@ovariancancer.net.au.

Do I need insurance for my event?Depending on your event, you may need to consider public liability insurance, if the event is held in a public place and the venue doesn’t already cover your event. There are a number of insurance companies that can provide a short term insurance policy. Ovarian Cancer Australia accepts no responsibility for any accidents or incidents that occur during the organisation or running of the approved fundraising activity.

What about social distancing requirements?Please make sure you are aware of the most up to date social distancing requirements in your state/territory as these may differ across Australia and are subject to change.

How do I provide receipts?If the donation is over $2 and there has been nothing received in return (e.g. a raffle ticket), guests may be entitled to a tax-deductable receipt. If donating online, the donor will receive a receipt automatically via email. If your guest donated cash at your event, you can complete a group donation form, which we can provide you with. Please contact our fundraising team on 1300 660 334 or at fundraising@ovariancancer.net.au.

Can I use the Ovarian Cancer Australia logo?If you would like to use our logo, please get in touch with our fundraising team on 1300 660 334 or at fundraising@ovariancancer.net.au. Our logo is very special to us, so we must approve any materials containing the logo before you publish or print them.

Changes to our logo, including colour, proportions or general design are prohibited.

Can children help with fundraising?There are strict laws pertaining to fundraising by children to ensure their health and wellbeing. Please note any child under the age of eight is not allowed to partake in fundraising activities in Australia. Any child 13 years old or under must be accompanied by a guardian at all times during participation. Please refer to your state/territory fundraising regulations or contact us for more information.

Ovarian Cancer Australia has a range of promotional material and merchandise to help you raise money and create awareness.
