Run a Dried Fruit Fundraiser in Australia

A dried fruit fundraiser is a simple, healthy way for Australian schools, clubs and community groups to raise money, without door-knocking or selling chocolate. Instead of a lolly drive, your group shares its own online campaign link, and supporters buy premium dried fruit they'll actually enjoy: mango, pineapple and sweet chilli mango. There's no upfront cost and nothing to store in the garage, 20% of every sale goes straight to your cause, tracked live.

It runs entirely online, so there's no cash to collect and no stock to manage. See the full how-it-works, but in short it's four steps:

You keep 20% of every sale, so the more supporters who buy, the more you raise, there's no cap and no upfront outlay. As a rough guide, if 50 supporters each buy a $25 pack in one round, that's $1,250 in sales and $250 to your cause, from people who'd happily snack on dried fruit anyway. Run it across a term, or pair it with an event, and it adds up fast.

Chocolate and lolly drives melt in the Aussie heat, clash with school canteen policies and lean on door-knocking. A dried fruit fundraiser is the healthier alternative: premium fruit with no added nasties, nothing to refrigerate, and a product families are glad to buy again. It's canteen-friendly, allergy-considered and far easier to run, all online, no boxes under the bed.

It works for almost any Australian group raising money the honest way, primary and high schools, P&C and P&F committees, sporting clubs, kindergartens and childcare centres, scout and guide groups, churches and community organisations. If you've got a community and a cause, you can run a CommuniTea dried fruit fundraiser. Want the full playbook? Read the fundraising guide.
