Looking for a simple way to raise extra funds for your group?

Containers for Change fundraising resources can help WA community groups and organisations make more of the 10¢ container refund scheme, with free tools to support fundraising and promotion.

Groups can register for a Containers for Change member number and receive refunds from containers they collect, or share their member number so supporters can donate their refunds directly to the organisation. The fundraising guide also suggests partnering with local businesses and collecting containers at community events as other ways to build support.

How could your group use Containers for Change?

Groups can use Containers for Change in a way that suits their capacity and community. You might collect eligible containers at meetings or events, encourage supporters to donate their refunds using your member number, or explore partnerships with local businesses willing to contribute their containers.

For smaller community and peer support groups, it can provide another way to raise funds without running a major fundraising campaign. The free resources can also help with promoting your collection and explaining to supporters how they can contribute
