Where does the money I raise go?
We are so grateful for your dedication and hard work through your fundraising activities! The money you raise will go towards supporting young people with complex physical disabilities to live with more choice, independence, and dignity.
With your help through fundraising, Youngcare will continue:

How do I ask people for donations?
After registering, you will receive emails and information from the Youngcare team with advice and support to guide you on your fundraising journey. If you need it, Youngcare will provide you with tips and advice on how to approach sponsors and donors and ask for their support.
Are donations tax deductible and can I get a receipt?
Donations over $2 are eligible for a tax-deductible receipt. After you receive a donation to your page the donor will be automatically emailed a receipt. Donors can access their receipts via their login. If receipts are misplaced, they can email: fundraising@youngcare.com.au
How do I transfer the money I raise to Youngcare?
After you have registered and begin your fundraising journey, Youngcare will provide bank details and instructions on how to transfer the money you raise. It is simple!
If you have any cash donations, please advise Youngcare as this will need to be transferred into Youngcare's bank account. We can apply this to your fundraising page as an 'offline donation' once the funds have been received.
Any donations made to your fundraising page will come directly to Youngcare.
What support will I receive from Youngcare?
The helpful Youngcare team are happy to support your fundraising journey along the way! We are just a phone call or email away – 07 3041 3400 or events@youngcare.com.au
We can assist you with advice, guidance, and information from the point of registration, right up until the completion of your event or challenge. However, we are unable to take on specific tasks on your behalf.
Do I need public liability insurance for my event?
Youngcare cannot provide public liability insurance for fundraising events organised by a third party. We recommend that you consider appropriate insurance to cover your fundraising initiative to protect property, participants, and the public.
Can someone from Youngcare attend or speak at my event?
The Youngcare team would love to support you by attending your event, but unfortunately this is not always possible. We have a very small team with limited resources and budgets, so we will take requests on a case-by-case basis.
Can I use the Youngcare logo to promote my fundraising activities?
Once registration is complete, you will receive several fundraising assets to support your efforts. If you require a Youngcare logo file, please contact us using the form or contact details provided above, and we will review your request for the use of the Youngcare logo. We request that all fundraisers seek approval before using the Youngcare logo. We will provide you with the appropriate version to ensure it meets your needs.
About Youngcare
Too many young people with complex physical disabilities are being left behind. These young people deserve to feel equal, accepted and included in their communities.
Youngcare provides choice, independence, and dignity to young people with complex physical disabilities. With your help, we are creating a future where every young person living in Australia can choose where they live, who they live with and how they live their lives.
Youngcare achieves this through building quality Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), advocating for much-needed societal change, delivering vital grants programs, and providing education, advice, and pathways through our free support service.
