Fundraising in schools

Caritas has a range of ideas and materials to help primary and secondary schools raise funds.

Fundraising is an important part of educating for justice. It shows tangible concern and compassion towards those who live with injustice or hardship.

Fundraising can be embraced by a school community at short notice for emergencies, or have a longer-term focus to support sustainable development. Read our document Some principles for school fundraising.

Read what schools have achieved in fundraising for us in 2010 and 2011. We’d like to hear more about your fundraising efforts. Please send photos and stories to caritas@caritas.org.nz.
