Our Story

ABOUT US

Sustainable fundraising was started to provide schools with easy access to a greater variety of eco-friendly fundraising ideas, and some simple tools to help their fundraisers succeed. Our goals are to offer top quality, useful products that make your school a great profit AND an enjoyable fundraising experience.

As parents of school children we often see the same unhealthy fundraising ideas being used repetitively. There is an opportunity for all of us to create change and reduce our load on the environment. Additionally, we'd love to see our schools move away from using food as a fundraising option, to selling items that have value for families and improve our children’s health.

Sustainable Fundraising supports local businesses wherever possible. But to get the best quality at the best price, we also source from the US and China.  To learn more about how we work, you can read through our FAQ Page, or send us an email, to hello@sustainablefundraising.nz.
