“How can I get involved or support Stay ChatTY?”
This is a question we get asked often and today, we wanted to give you the rundown on organising an awareness, or fundraising event in support of our mission.
Raising awareness and fundraising for Stay ChatTY is a wonderful way to ensure our work can continue for many years to come in Tasmania and beyond, and we’re always grateful to receive enquiries about it. So, if this has been on your mind, here’s a quick guide on how to start that process!
Step 1: Do you intend on raising awareness, or raising funds?
You do not need to be raising funds to organise an event in support of Stay ChatTY! It is just as valuable to raise awareness of positive mental health messages when it comes to reducing the stigma associated with mental health, and suicide conversations. Get in touch to discuss your idea and we’ll send through a short ‘Awareness Raising’ form for you to fill in.
Step 2: If wanting to fundraise, what kind of fundraising event do you have in mind?
Every single dollar received through donations and fundraisers is valued and helps us carry on our ongoing mission. However, some fundraising events need a little more logistics than others.
If you’re thinking of donating your birthday money or organising a simple event such as a bake sale in the office or at school, and you’re happy to go ahead and do your thing, it is totally fine to create your fundraising page online straight away.
However, if you’re planning on undertaking a significant physical challenge, organising a bigger scale event, or would like to talk to us about setting up a raffle, receiving some Stay ChatTY resources or using our logo in promotional material, then we’ll ask you to fill in our fundraising form and email it back to the team. This way, we can support you and ensure that the experience is as smooth as possible!
