Streamlines fundraising by offering prize draws to organisations and causes of any size.

*Note – Fundraising permit only held in NSW so far, ALL other States and Territories to be added ASAP.*
ACFP is an Australian Owned fundraising platform that streamlines fundraising by consolidating the supporters from multiple fundraising causes into the one draw, not only increasing the available prize pool, but also reducing or completely eliminating their fundraising burden to allow organisations to concentrate on their core mission without the added stresses of fundraising logistics.
Australian Community Fundraising Partners Ltd is a Not-For-Profit (Zero Profit) Charitable Fundraising Organisation.
They fundraise for and provide funding directly to:
– Small Community Groups, Teams, Clubs, Schools, Charities and Charitable Causes who may be finding it hard to fundraise enough or at all due to their size, location and reach.
As a Zero Profit Organisation ACFP takes no payments, has no held bank accounts or investments for profit. They are run and managed completely by volunteers, and 100% of any donated funds are passed on to the intended cause.
ACFP is able to provide a massive 65% of the income from ticket sales directly to the partner responsible for that sale, with NO extra costs. Any applicable taxes, if required at all, are paid by each partner on the donations and sponsorship they receive from the sale of their tickets on this website.
ALL tickets in the ACF Community Art Union are $2. ACFP guarantee that a minimum of 65% of EVERY SALE is forwarded directly to supporting your chosen School, community group, sporting club or charity.
For example, a $100 ticket bundle breakdown:
– $65 to your chosen cause
– $15 prize pool
– $10 GST
– $1.50 to $3.50 is 1.5% to 3.5% charged as online payment fees, out of the remaining $6.50 to $8.50.
ACF also pays all other cost for both ACF and ACFP Ltd, including applicable Tax to the ATO.
ACFP Ltd supplies the prizes out of the held 15%.
It’s 100% free for ANY community cause to partner with ACFP, and the more tickets sold means more funds raised for good causes in NSW.
