Fundraising
Can I host an afternoon tea, or dinner instead?
Of course! Your Dunk it for Plunket morning tea can be wherever and whatever you like!
Do I have to hold my event on a certain date?
No, we know one date might not suit everyone, so you're welcome to hold your fundraiser on any day in August.
I want to host a virtual event, is that still an option?
Yes of course. Just set up your fundraising page as normal and share it with your guests. You’ll still be able to take part in the fun morning tea games suggested in your box.
How do I promote my event?
You can send out invitations via email or SMS, social media is a fantastic place to share your fundraising page.
If you're hosting your event at work, put posters up in your staffroom or ask if you can advertise on your internal communications channels.
How do I ask people for donations?
Don’t be afraid of asking – the main reason people donate is because they were asked. Tell your guests why Plunket is important to you. Remind them that every dollar will go towards supporting the needs of families across Aotearoa and helping tamariki (children) thrive. Many companies will match any funds you raise so it’s worth asking your boss if this is something they will do.
How do I share my page ?
When you are logged in, click on your name at the top of the page and select ‘Get Support’ from the menu. There you’ll see links, a QR code and options to share straight to popular social networks.
You can display your personalised QR code at your event so people can scan it to make donations.
What should I do if I receive cash donations at my morning tea?
The best option is to bank the cash donations against your own fundraising page - so bank the money into your own account, and then make a credit card payment to your own fundraising page for the amount banked. Alternatively, if you would like to bank the amount directly into a Plunket account - NZ Plunket Trust 02-0500-0964455-013, and use the reference DUNKIT.
How much money do I have to fundraise?
There is no set amount that you have to raise but remember, that everyone that raises over $100 goes in to win the fantastic coffee machine worth $1,149.95 No matter how small or large, your fundraising will help our mission to support the needs of families across Aotearoa and help tamariki (children) thrive.
