How To Generate Additional Revenue For Your Organisation

Are you a charity, NFP, school, sporting club or similar organisation that is wanting to raise additional funds?  If so, consider becoming an In-Kind sponsor with the Find Foundation.  We have done all the work for you…now you can sit back and receive the support you need whilst knowing your members are benefiting as well.  Only In-Kind sponsors will receive revenue from the Find Cards.

Why Become an In-Kind Sponsor?

Exciting New Benefits & Fundraising for Our Members!

We are thrilled to announce our new partnership to help support our community and ease the load on your busy volunteer committee! Here is what this means for you:

Boosting Funds for Your Organisation:

When community members sign up for a Find Card, they nominate a local cause to support. Each year, a portion of these membership funds is allocated directly to their chosen group. By registering as an In-Kind Sponsor, we can seamlessly distribute these accumulated funds to your organisation annually. It is a completely free, effortless way to inject extra revenue into your budget.

Free Event Advertising:

Promote your upcoming community fundraisers and local events in our Community Paper at absolutely zero cost.

Featured “NFP of the Month”:

Take the spotlight with a dedicated feature story in our paper, giving you the perfect platform to share your mission with the wider community.

Free Managed Newsletter Services:

We will completely take over the heavy lifting of your monthly newsletter management—entirely for free. If we operate a paper in your area (such as Find Geelong or Find Maroondah), our team will curate, design, and send out beautifully formatted monthly updates directly to your members.

(Note: If a dedicated community paper hasn’t launched in your specific region yet, don’t worry—we are actively working to expand our reach and aim to have one up and running in your area soon!)

Greater Member Engagement:

Encourage your supporters to register and vote for your organisation. In return, they will unlock exclusive discounts, deals, and coupons from local business partners.

Why do we offer this?

It is a true win-win. To keep our regional community papers vibrant, we are always looking for great local stories, updates, and events.

  • By managing your newsletter, we can seamlessly pull the content you want to share and give it a second, much wider audience in our community paper each month.

  • Best of all? If your committee structure changes or key members move on, your newsletter consistency will never miss a beat.

What We Ask in Return:

To help us maximize your funding and promote your cause effectively, we ask our In-Kind Sponsors to support the partnership by:

Treating the Find Foundation with the same collaborative spirit as one of your major organisation sponsors.

Displaying our logo on your website and member marketing materials, along with a dedicated menu link that points to your custom Find Cards landing page.

Allowing us to place promotional signage at your facilities where applicable, with all production and installation costs fully covered by us.

Actively promoting Find Cards to your members and introducing our regional Community Paper to your existing sponsors (who can access discounted advertising space in return).

Keeping us in the loop! While our team might not be able to attend every event due to a busy calendar, we always appreciate being invited to your community gatherings.

How it works:

Register your organisation (Partners > In-Kind Sponsors > Register Today)

We will send you an In-Kind Sponsorship agreement via Ignition to sign on behalf of your organisation.

Once signed, we will ask you to supply your organisation’s Logo so we can feature you as an official sponsor.

We will set up a custom landing page on our website for your members to sign up and ask you to place a “Fundraiser” or “Find Cards” link on your own website menu item to point to the landing page (refer here for an example of how it might look: Croydon Bowls Club Example).

We will approach your sponsors to let them know they can participate in the Find Cards as well.

If we have the community paper operating in your region, then we will invite you to submit ads/articles each month to promote your organisation.
