Choose what type of fundraiser you’d like to do, it may be a physical challenge, you may want to quit a bad habit, or maybe you’ve got an idea that’s completely new. Once you’ve decided, complete the Do it For Heart registration form and you’ll receive your own fundraising page where you can collect donations. 

Once you’re registered you’ll receive a call from someone in our community fundraising team to answer any questions. You’ll also have access to a great fundraising toolkit to help you get your fundraiser up and running.  

If you’d like advice on your fundraising idea, the Do it for Heart team are ready to chat. While they can’t help with running or promoting your event, they’re full of great ideas about how to make it successful. Get in touch on 13 11 12 or email us at communityfundraising@heartfoundation.org.au 

The easiest way to collect donations is to ask your supporters to make a secure, online donation through your fundraising page. They’ll receive an instant tax-deductible receipt and you’ll be able to keep track of how much you’ve raised.   

If you plan to collect cash or cheques, you’ll need an official Authority to Fundraise form and banking information. Let us know when you register if you're planning to do this. 

Every donation to the Heart Foundation helps in the fight against heart disease, which takes 48 Australian lives every day.  

By fundraising for the Heart Foundation, you’ll be supporting us to:  

• fund world-leading research  
• develop care guidelines for health professionals 

• support high quality care for people living with heart disease 
• help Australians to live healthier lifestyles 
• advocate to government and industry across initiatives to improve heart health. 

Visit the Heart Foundation website for more information on our efforts to create an Australia free from heart disease.

When you register for Do it for Heart, you will be set up with a personal fundraising page. Here you can personalise your page – set a fundraising goal, upload photos, and write a few sentences on what you’re doing and why. This will encourage friends, family and other acquaintances to make a donation and help you reach your goal. 

On your page you will be able to see how much you have raised and who has supported you. Plus when your family and friends make a donation they will automatically get a tax receipt. 

You can share your personal fundraising page with your family and friends to encourage them to donate!
