Your impact

Where does my fundraising go?

Your donations allow us to work in partnership with sick children, their families, and medical teams to design and deliver wishes that are as unique as the children who imagine them and help create joy and lifelong memories for families.

As the only Australian children's charity focusing exclusively on wishes, all our efforts go towards fundraising and creating wishes for Australian children affected by critical illness.

Fundraising

How can I promote my Hallowish event?

add remove

The options are endless. You can download your QR poster from the dashboard and pop it up in your workplace. Why not send out invitations via email or SMS? You can also choose to share your fundraising page on social media, or put a notice in the local newspaper. 

I'm nervous to ask people to donate

add remove

The primary factor driving charitable donations is simply being asked – so don’t be afraid to do it! Tell your community why the cause is important to you and remind them that every dollar counts.

Every dollar raised helps Make-A-Wish bring life-changing wishes to kids with a critical illness
.

Did you know that a lot of workplaces also offer dollar matching, so it’s worth asking your boss if this is something they will do.

I made a donation of $20/$40/$60 prior to 8 September, do they count towards the raffle?

add remove

Due to the specifics of the permits required to register this raffle, the start date is specifically set for the 8th of September at 9am - therefore, any donations made prior do not count towards an entry into the draw.  

However, from 9am on the 8th of September, until 11.59pm on the 31st of October, every full $20 donated and remitted during the Promotion Period earns one (1) automatic entry. Partial amounts do not accumulate. No entries are allocated for an amount less than $20. For example, an entrant who donates $219 will receive 10 entries into the prize draw, not 11 entries. 

If you would like, you can do so by making a $20 donation to your fundraising page. 

I don't want my donation to go towards the raffle, I want a tax-deductible receipt...

add remove

As stated in the email you received following your donation, we can remove your entry into the draw, and issue you with your donation receipt instead.  

*Please note that this can only be requested before the raffle draw date and time – 10am, Friday 7 November 2025, in accordance with the terms and conditions of entry.
