Becoming a Fundraiser for PANDA is one of the best ways to help us do our important work. Help expecting and new parents affected by perinatal anxiety and depression and postnatal psychosis to understand what’s happening to them, seek support, feel better sooner and get on with their lives.
Organise a PANDA Day event and invite family, friends or colleagues along to raise funds while also creating a safe space to chat about the mental health of expecting and new parents.
You can host a PANDA Day at any time of the year. Or, if you want to join forces with others across the country and be part of something even bigger, you could organise your event for PANDA Week (10 – 16 November).
The type of event you choose to host is entirely up to you! Why not consider a cinema screening, trivia night, raffle, stall at a local market or an art or craft exhibition, auction or raffle? To raise funds you can charge an entry donation, pass around a collection plate or hold a raffle.
There are a number of physical challenges you can set yourself to raise funds for PANDA. There are a number of established marathons, half marathons, walks and climbs that you can join, with new ones popping up every year. Here’s a list.
If you’re hosting a special event like a birthday, anniversary, baby shower or christening, why not consider asking your guests to make a contribution to support the mental health of expecting and new parents?
Host an event at your workplace, club or school. Collect donations for a morning tea, lunch or other event!
PANDA also has a range of resources including brochures, factsheets and postcards that you may want to distribute at your event. PANDA provides these free of charge.
There are legal requirements set out in different Acts across Australia that govern how individuals and organisations can raise funds for charitable purposes. Before starting your fundraising event or activity, please fill out our fundraising agreement form below.
If you charge an entry fee or take cash donations, please transfer your funds to via PANDA's Online Donation Form.
Or ask people to donate directly to PANDA on the day via our Credit Card Donation Form.
A great way to collect donations is to use a peer-to-peer fundraising platform like Go Fund Me or Everyday Hero which allow you to create a donation page on behalf of PANDA.
