Fundraising

Fundraising is a great chance for everyone at your school to get involved in your revegetation project. Options for school fundraising days include a trivia night, raffle, crazy hair day or even “sponsor a plant”.  We can provide you with promotional materials help you to get started.

We’d love to assist you to raise funds for your revegetation program.  Please see below to learn more about our Fundraising Hub and how we can help you to write a grant proposal to fund your project. 

Donations

Your school may like to approach your local nursery or hardware store for donations of plants, safety gear and propagation materials. We find that local suppliers are usually pretty happy to offer their support.
