FAQs

• Can I collect cash donations?

  Yes, you can. If you’re collecting cash or funds another way, make sure you keep a detailed account including the date, donor’s full name, email address, phone number and the amount donated. 

  At the end of your fundraiser, get in touch with us at fundraising@tkcp.org.au and we'll help you bank that, and make sure it shows on your fundraising page.

• Can I start a team?

  Yes, you can! A team is the perfect way to fundraise with your friends or family. If you have set up a Raisely fundraising page, you can create a team when you sign up, or afterwards from your fundraising dashboard.

• Will my supporters receive tax-deductible receipts if they donate to my fundraiser?

  Supporters donating through a Raisely fundraising page, will automatically receive a tax-deductible receipt to their nominated email address.
  If you’re collecting cash or funds another way, we’ve created a handy form for you to keep a detailed account including the date, donor’s full name, email address, phone number and the amount donated.
  When the sheet or your fundraiser is complete, email it to fundraising@tkcp.org.au and The Kids’ Cancer Project will send tax-deductible receipts directly to each supporter.
  
   

• Do I need documentation to start fundraising?

  To ensure your fundraiser stands within legal guidelines, The Kids’ Cancer Project will need to verify your fundraiser before you can get started. By setting up a Raisely fundraising page, you are automatically verified. But if you are fundraising using a different mechanism, please email fundraising@tkcp.org.au and we will provide you with your Authority to Fundraise to make it official.

• Can I support a specific type of cancer (i.e. brain cancer, leukaemia etc)

  Money raised through your fundraiser goes toward funding bold research for all children diagnosed with cancer. It’s highly likely we’re either funding studies right now or are reviewing grants to discover kinder, more effective treatments for the type of cancer you’re particularly interested in.

• How can I track how much I have raised?

  The easiest way is to set up a Raisley fundraising page that lets you manage all donations made to your fundraiser. You can add as much or as little information as you’d like and then send the link directly to your supporters. 

• Will you help me promote my fundraiser?

  We want your fundraiser to be all about you. We will support you by providing you with tips, ideas, information about us along with logos, social tiles and whatever else necessary you can use. The promotion is up to you - afterall, you’re the best advocate for your fundraiser!

• What can I do?

  Almost anything you like! Whether you want to dress up, bake a difference, or just go crazy, you can be a community champion by fundraising with us. We’ve put together some more ideas in our resources section - there is a fundraiser to suit everyone! 

• Is there a time limit on my fundraising?

  The short answer is, ‘no there is not’! But if you create a Raisely fundraising page, it will expire after 6 months, so to keep fundraising for longer, get in touch and we’ll extend the time limit.

• Where does the money go?

  The money you raise for The Kids’ Cancer Project will be distributed to critically appraised scientific research projects that will lead to cures of many different types of children’s cancer with a focus on survival and ongoing quality of life.

• Can I cancel my fundraiser?

  While it is always a shame to cancel a fundraiser, we understand things come up! Just get in touch with us at fundraising@tkcp.org.au and we can remove your fundraiser or postpone it for another time.
