Fundraising
Where does my fundraising money go?
Every dollar raised through your Daffodil Day fundraising goes towards life-saving cancer research conducted and funded by Cancer Council. For more information on the ways your donations make a difference to those impacted by cancer click here.
How do I promote my fundraising?
Ask for support via email or SMS, share your fundraising page on social media, or pop a poster up in your workplace or community club (you’ll find these online here). If you’re fundraising in your workplace, ask if you can advertise on your internal communications channels or add to your email signature.
How do I ask people for donations?
The number one reason why people donate to charities is because they were asked – so don’t be afraid of asking! Tell your supporters why the cause is important to you and remind them that every dollar counts – every dollar will go towards cancer research and creating a brighter, cancer free future for all Australians (find out more here). Many workplaces also offer dollar matching, so it’s worth asking your boss if this is something they will do.
How do I update the message on my fundraising page or change my page name?
Your page name can be changed within your fundraising hub, under the ‘Edit My Page’ section. Your page message can also be updated in the ‘Edit My Page’ section, in your blog area. Log in to your fundraising hub here.

What is my personal QR code and how can it be used to get donations?
Once you have registered, you will be provided with a unique QR code that can be used to make cashless payments if you hold a fundraising event.
Once you login to your fundraising hub, under ‘Share and Invite’, there’s the option to download and print your QR code to display at your fundraiser.
