Fundraising

Fundraising is not only vital for the strength and longevity of Carry On (Victoria)’s work, it also provides a great opportunity for volunteers and supporters to be practically involved in things that help support our Ex-Servicemen and Women and their families. Plus, many of the fundraising efforts are fun social events to be involved in! There are so many great ideas for fundraising – from small morning teas, or picnics, raffles and auctions, to sports days or trivia nights, or gala balls and dinners – each has their own reward, regardless of the financial outcomes.

As a charity, we must adhere to Australian fundraising legislation for events or activities held in our name, so if you have a great fundraising idea, you should definitely read through our Fundraising Guidelines before you get started. If everything checks out, your next step is to complete our Fundraising Registration Form and return it to us via email at [email protected]

When your registration has been approved, we will provide confirmation to you in writing and, as the legislation requires, you will receive an ‘Authority to Fundraise’ letter with your unique reference number and a ‘Fundraising Results Form’ that you will need to return to us after your fundraising is complete. This is an important document as you may need to show it when booking facilities, or requesting donations for your event or activity.

Once that paperwork is done you are ready for action! We will be involved in whatever capacity we can, so please let us know what you have in mind, and what support you think you might need. We have a passionate community and would love to ‘rally the troops’ (pardon the pun) and help you!

What Happens Afterwards?
First of all, you will be showered with praise and glory. Then you will need to fill out our Fundraising Results Form that was sent to you with your ‘Authority to Fundraise’ letter, after you registered.
The form can be returned by mail or in person to Carry On (Victoria), along with a cheque or money order for the amount of funds that were raised.


The Fundraising Results Form still needs to be submitted though, so we can process the payment and again have your details so we can shower you in praise and glory.

Please quote your unique reference number, (provided at registration) in all transfers.

    Marathon Effort

    We all need help in different ways. There was a moment when I actually needed some assistance which was met by a representative of Carry On (Victoria) . Even though the help I needed was quite small, and maybe even insignificant in the eyes of the person who assisted, when we receive help at a time of need it will invariably leave an indelible impact in how we remember the support rendered.

    Now, it is my turn to "pay it forward". My circumstances were unique, as is the case with anyone

    How to break up with technology

    We’re all guilty of a little too much device time, but there’s a fine line between habit and addiction. Did you know the average person checks their phone every 12 minutes on a normal day?  That’s 5 times an hour, 120 times a day and let’s not even do the maths on how many times a year that turns out to be!

    In Australia, approximately 12 out of 100 people will have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at some point in their life. With PTSD affecting anybody who has been through traumatic events, including a serious accident, natural disasters or assault, war veterans are inevitably at higher risk for PTSD than the general population.

    Numerous studies have shown that strong ties with family, friends and the community provide people with happiness, security, support and a sense of purpose. As humans we all crave social connection, it’s just the way we’re wired. It gives us even greater joy when we connect with like-minded individuals who share similar beliefs and values.
