FUNDRAISING
What types of fundraising activities can I host?
A. Fundraising activities are only limited by your imagination! As a start, why not host a free dress/casual day, a trivia night or raffle! Read about more ways to fundraise for Epilepsy Queensland or contact us for more information.

How do I publicise my event?
A. The best way to advertise your event or initiative is to consider your target market, or who you would like to turn up. Do some research into where they shop, what newspapers and magazines they read, the schools they go to, where they work etc. Then write an enticing description of your event, including why you're doing it, where and when it's at and your contact details. You can then email this to your local paper or radio station, get local shops to display in their window and also ask friends to spread the word.

How do I send the money raised from my event to Epilepsy Queensland?
A. Once your event is officially approved by Epilepsy Queensland, you will receive a deposit slip to directly deposit the funds at your local Westpac branch. If possible, we request all proceeds from your event be banked within two weeks of your event, and that you advise Epilepsy Queensland of the details of your deposit.

MERCHANDISE

I can't volunteer for the Little Poss Appeal but would still like to help. Can I purchase merchandise to sell through my club?
A. Absolutely! We're looking for people to sell merchandise in the work place and through their local sporting or social club. Buy merchandise

Is the purchase of merchandise tax deductible?
A. No, because goods are received in return for your contribution.

Where can I sell merchandise?
A. Anywhere - to your family and friends, at your workplace, at your school, sporting club and community club.

What happens if I run out?
A. Call us and we'll send you some more!

What do I do with merchandise left over after the Little Poss Appeal?
A. It is best for Epilepsy Queensland if you can sell all your merchandise. If you have any left over, please return the remaining stock to:
