Dollar Match Day
Wednesday 12 June, 10am AEST
Thanks to Northern Star Resources
Our friends at Northern Star Resources are generously matching the first $100,000* worth of donations made on Wednesday 12 June.
You can double your impact with all funds raised for Lifeline, headspace and The Push for Better Foundation going towards critical mental health services and programs across Australia.
How it works
So, a $50 donation becomes $100. A $100 donation becomes $200. You get the gist. All matched donations will appear on your fundraising page the next day.
Be quick! Hit up your friends, family and workmates beforehand so they're ready to go when it all starts.
Donations made to Facebook Fundraisers do not qualify for dollar matching, so make sure you share your fundraising page link when asking for donations.
We've got some FAQs if you fancy scrolling down further for a read. *Terms & Conditions apply.
Three things to help get your donations doubled
1. EMAIL YOUR CREW
Hit up your family and friends and tell them that they have a golden opportunity to make twice the impact on mental health.
Share your fundraising page link with them and get them to donate to your page from 10am AEST Wednesday 12 June.
Keep scrolling for an email template to get you started.
2. SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Share a link to your fundraising page on Facebook, Insta or LinkedIn (or elsewhere) to get donations to your page.
The more people who donate to your page from 10am AEST Wednesday 12 June, the better. Remind them to get in quick though, as dollar matching funds will run out.
Keep scrolling for some social tiles and captions you can use.
3. MAKE A SELF DONATION
We understand that fundraising isn't everyone's jam. If you've considered making a self-donation to your page, Dollar Match Day would be the time.
Even a small self donation will make a difference to mental health in Australia.
Be ready to head to your page at 10am AEST Wednesday 12 June to donate from there.
