Fundraising for charities and community groups
MAKE CHANGE FOR YOUR CAUSE
Containers for Change gives charities and community groups the means to raise funds in a convenient and ongoing way. Once you are all set up, you can engage your supporters to donate their containers and help you reach your fundraising goals.
Simple steps to start fundraising
RSPCA Queensland provides orphaned animals that come into their care with essentials like a bed, litter tray and toys using the refunds from just 250 containers.
WAYS TO FUNDRAISE
There are a few different ways that you can start making the most from collecting containers.
Share your scheme ID
Provide your supporters with your scheme ID number and encourage them to use it when returning their containers.
Become a donation location
Your supporters can donate their containers directly by dropping them off at your location.
Partner with your local container refund point
Introduce yourself to your local operator to see what support they can offer to boost your fundraising.
