There are so many ways you can raise money and have an impact - as an individual, family, business or school.
Host a fundraiser or take part in an event and every dollar raised means more wishes can come true for critically ill kids and their families.

Raising money with your customers and co-workers isn’t only a good way to help – it’s good for business.
Whether you get the team together (in person or virtually!) for a morning tea, or take the challenge outside the office, our Fundraising team has got your back.
Fundraise at school
Kids love helping other kids – and they definitely love wishes – which makes fundraising with Make-A-Wish a great fit for your school.
There’s so many ways kids can get involved and challenge themselves, while learning about helping others. Whatever you choose, we can help.

You can also explore wish stories online and via our YouTube channel.
Your impact
Every year, thousands of Australian children are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness like cystic fibrosis, a heart condition, or cancer.
This year, Make-A-Wish will support more than 800 kids on a Wish Journey, helping them discover that anything is possible.
Together with your help, we can make even more unforgettable wishes come true.
