Get involved - Fundraising suggestions.
We are thrilled that you are considering fundraising for Mitrofanoff Support Australia (MSA). We’ve compiled a list of some of the most successful fundraising ideas and plenty of simple ones to get you started.
Sometimes it is easy to turn simple pre-arranged events into a fundraiser. A night at the movies can become a fundraiser if you increase the basic $10 ticket price to $20 and donate the proceeds of ticket sales to MSA. You could also turn your local pub’s weekly trivia night into a fundraiser by organising an auction and asking for a gold coin donation at the door.
