Fundraising and Earned Income
Projects Vol.1
Corporate adopts charity
- The real estate franchise
group L. J. Hooker adopted the
charity Cystic Fibrosis two
years ago as its corporate
charity.
- In the first year of the
relationship, Hookers launched
the Ultimate Garage Sale, and
invited everyone in the
community to drop off unused -
but saleable - items at their
600 local offices.
- This initiative raised
$185,000, which was boosted
with a corporate donation of
$50,000.
- This year they hope to at
least surpass that success,
particularly as the company
has organised a charity house
to be built in Brisbane with
donated materials.
- When auctioned, this
charity house should generate
a surplus of $50,000 which
will also go to Cystic
Fibrosis.
Companies use charities
for publicity
- There is a growing trend
for companies to use charities
to generate publicity - with
or without the consent of the
charity.
- The franchise hairdressing
chain Just Cuts took a more
responsible attitude and
earned enormous publicity
throughout NSW with its
promotion to donate $1 to
charity for every haircut in
its salons on a Saturday in
February.
- Their PR firm went to work
and - by using photos from
local salons - was able to get
exposure for Just Cuts in
various local newspapers.
- 64 salons participated and
$25,000 was raised for the
Sydney Children’s Hospital at
Randwick.

Fundraising and Earned Income
Projects Vol.1
Celebrity chefs pool talents
- The annual luncheon
catered by the Great Chefs of
Adelaide raises over $50,000
for the Archbishop’s Appeal,
and its beneficiary Anglicare.
- Most of the fine wine and
food is donated, the chefs
give their time for free, as
do students from the Regency
Hotel School - who do the
support cooking and act as
waiters for the 300+ guests.
- The event is held on a
Sunday at the Adelaide Town
Hall and is marketed to those
who like to have a long Sunday
lunch with friends.
Opportunity in credit card
over-ride
- If you have a large number
of affluent supporters on your
database, credit card income
could be of interest to you.
- For example, the Royal
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals offers Amex
credit cards to its database
of 70,000 names.
- Amex will then pay a usage
fee back to the animal welfare
agency.
- The numbers work like this
– if 5% of names take up the
offer, and if they each spend
$10,000 a year on their card,
and if Amex pays 0.25% on
usage, then the RSPCA will
earn $87,500 annually.
- However the demographics
of the RSPCA supporter base
are unlikely to support these
figures – firstly a typical
supporter is unlikely to be in
an age group that would be
keen to accept another credit
card, secondly they are
unlikely to spend $10,000
annually on credit.
- All marketing expenses are
met by Amex, and there is no
breaching of Privacy Code
legislation because you are
marketing to your own members.
- Save the Children, AIDS
Trust, and the Starlight
Children’s Foundation are also
part of a growing number of
community business enterprises
that offer a branded credit
card issued by American
Express.
