10 Fundraiser ideas at the Tailrace Centre

3

Fundraising is hard work. It steals energy

from your heart. When we fundraise it is

because some human heart has touched

our heart and soul and we want to send love

on its way. We have been moved to want to

make a difference.

We have been fundraising for over 23 years.

Tailrace Centre came into existence through

fundraising. We received donations to the

value of $1.2 million at one of our giving

events. It was an extraordinary morning

and we have continued to experience

extraordinary giving over the years.

Over the past 23 years we have seen people

give $40 – $150,000 at our Miracle Giving

Events. We are always surprised and our

heart beats with gratefulness.

The one thing we have learned about

fundraising is that the best giving comes

when the human soul connects deeply with a

human condition and the one giving wants to

be part of change. Connectivity is one of the

most powerful acts of the human soul.

10 Fundraiser ideas at the Tailrace Centre

In this booklet, we have bought together

10 of the Best Fundraising Ideas we can

offer at Tailrace. Whilst we want you to

fall in love with our offer we also want to

encourage you to never forget the power

of the story of your heart. It is the story

that resides in your heart that makes the

real difference.

So here goes with what we can offer.

Just remember as you look through this

book that we can always create your own

unique vision.
