Community fundraising

Why Your Community Fundraiser Matters 
Every day, people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in NSW rely on the care, equipment, and support services that MND NSW provides. When you choose to hold a community fundraiser, you’re doing far more than raising money — you’re offering hope, connection, and practical help to people who need it most. 

Make a Real and Immediate Impact
MND is a rapidly progressive disease, and timely support is essential. By fundraising, you help provide:
-Essential equipment that allows people to remain mobile, safe, and independent
-Support and guidance for families navigating an overwhelming diagnosis
-Education and information for carers, health professionals, and community members
-Programs that reduce isolation and help people stay connected

Your event — big or small — helps ensure no one faces MND alone.

Bring Your Community Together for Something Meaningful
A fundraiser doesn’t just raise funds; it raises awareness and brings people together. Whether you’re organising a morning tea, a school event, a workplace challenge, or a local sports fundraiser, you’re rallying people around a cause that truly matters. Your event becomes a moment of connection, kindness, and shared purpose — something people will remember long after the day is over.

Fundraising Your Way
The best part? You can fundraise in a way that suits you:
-Host an event
-Celebrate a birthday or milestone
-Take on a personal challenge
-Honour someone you love
-Fundraise through your club, school, or workplace
No idea is too small, and we’re here to support you every step of the way with resources, guidance, and tools to make your fundraiser shine.

Be Part of Something Bigger
When you choose to fundraise for MND NSW, you become part of a passionate community working towards a future where everyone living with MND has the support they need.
-Your efforts create real change.
-Your compassion inspires others.
-Your support matters.
