Thank you for considering FAST Australia as the recipient of your fundraising activities; by raising funds for our organisation you are assisting us in our mission to raise awareness and encourage research in Australia.
Fundraising can be an exciting way of engaging your local community. As well as raising money, it helps to raise awareness and educate your local community about Angelman Syndrome.

How can FAST Australia support your event?
FAST Australia looks forward to supporting your event wherever we can. Some of the ways we can provide support include:
-
Provide a Letter of Authority to Fundraise when required.
-
Assist in a guest speaker; Board Member or professional (depending on location)
-
A4 leaflets & brochures explaining Angelman Syndrome and the mission of FAST Australia.
-
Graphic Design support to tailor posters or flyers for your event
-
Advertising the details of your event through our ever increasing Supporter base and social networks
-
Links to Everyday Hero, enabling you to create your own fundraising page, set a target & collect donations - donors will receive a tax deductible receipt directly from Everyday Hero.
-
Provide receipts for those tax deductible donations paid directly to you (where a corporate sponsorship is received we will give the donor ONE receipt for the amount received, and it’s up to that donor to then split up the amount donated amongst the individual people that attended the event.)
-
Certificates of Appreciation to any organisations assisting you for display.

What is the difference between a donation & purchasing a ticket?
If attendees or donors at an event are receiving something for their money; i.e. a ticket to an event or an item in a silent auction, then those monies are not tax deductible and a donation receipt cannot be issued by FAST Australia. Monies received without reciprocation are donations, and tax deductible receipts can be provided. However if you wish to add a donation portion onto your ticket prices, and that money is received by FAST Australia, we can issue a tax deductible donation for this portion. Any queries about this, please contact admin@cureangelman.org.au

What you need to consider when fundraising
-
The individual to whom the Letter of authority is addressed will be responsible for the event.
-
You will need to ensure the safety of the event and if required, obtain public liability insurance. Unfortunately the Foundation cannot provide public liability insurance cover on behalf of third parties. We would suggest you liaise with your venue to obtain details of your guests’ insurance cover.
-
You will need to ensure you fulfill your obligations with the appropriate State Authority for Fundraising e.g. Office of Fair Trading in Queensland. (We hold licences in all states).
-
Upon completion of your event, please provide all funds to FAST Australia as soon as possible so that we can complete receipting requirements. Please also provide us with a tally of any donation receipts we can provide to your attendees.
-
Please ensure that your debts are NOT incurred in the name of FAST Australia as we will not be held responsible for any debt that we do not guarantee.
