fundraise for Techie

Raise Raise money, devices or awareness.

Run a fundraiser at your workplace, your school or your club. Raise the funds to refurbish the laptops, phones and tablets we already have, or collect the ones nobody uses any more. Either one puts somebody back in reach of Centrelink, Medicare and their child’s school — and back in touch with the people they love.

How to run a fundraiser

Three steps, and you can change any of it afterwards.

setting up a page takes about five minutes

  1. 1

    Choose funds, devices, or both

    Whichever suits the people you are asking. You can change it later without losing anything.

  2. 2

    Tell us how devices would reach us

    Only if you are collecting devices. Drop-off, post or courier — the answer shapes what is worth accepting, so we ask it early rather than late, and we will help you plan it.

  3. 3

    Build your page and share it

    A photo, a target, and why this matters to you. You will get a link to send to your people.

Two ways to help

Raise funds

Well suited to a fun challenge, a birthday, or asking for donations instead of presents. The money pays for the parts, the testing and the delivery that turn a donated laptop into one somebody can rely on.

Supporters can fund a whole device, or give any amount they choose. Every dollar helps.

  • $199

    A laptop

  • $149

    A tablet

  • $99

    A phone

Nothing to box up, nothing to post, nothing to arrange.

Raise funds

Collect devices

A device drive. Well suited to a workplace, a school or a club with equipment nobody is using any more.

  • Laptops
  • Desktops
  • Phones
  • Tablets

Not sure? Choose both. One page, and two ways for your supporters to help.

What we cannot take at the moment

  • Monitors
  • Keyboards
  • Mice
  • Printers

We already hold more of these than we can use, so please leave them off your page. Saying so up front saves a supporter carrying one across town.
