Our leadership have been supporting some of Australia’s most prestigious signature events since the early 2000’s right through to grassroots school and sporting club fundraisers.
This has broadened our knowledge base of successful ideas and concepts that can translate to your event.
We don’t implement a ‘cookie cutter’ approach to our clients. We learn about your event, its history and your supporters.
Combining our expertise and services with your goals and resources, we plan together to build an entire fundraising strategy that is complimentary and engaging.
Gala Fundraising’s hands on approach to supporting clients has opened up our awareness of event fundraising beyond auctions alone.

Success Story
Our recommendation delivered over $24,000 from one item alone!
One of the most memorable fundraising outcomes for a non-Gala Fundraising auction package, was the recommendation for our client to auction off an item from one of their ambassadors. The item was a signed military hat. In a room of less than 400 guests, with some creative presentation by our client, it sold for an incredible $24,500.
