Fundraising
How do I receive donations?
When you register, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to your personalised fundraising page. Alternatively, you can search for your page by typing your name or event name into the ‘Find a host’ search bar. Your fundraising page is the most useful tool to collect funds from your guests.
You can also raise funds at your event — cash is totally fine — and then deposit everything onto your fundraising page.
Where do the funds I raise go?
The funds you raise will go directly to Hannah’s House support services which provide in-home support care, quality of life care, school programs and our playtime program. You can help ensures those living with life-limiting conditions and their family will have the support they deserve, from diagnosis to bereavement. Read more about the services we offer here.
How do I raise funds?
The best way to raise funds is to invite as many people as possible to your event and offer them the opportunity to donate. Make your Shine for Hannah an extraordinary experience, but also don’t be afraid to be honest and explain why you care so much about the cause.

You will receive your Authority to Fundraise Letter via email upon registration. If you require a letter format, please email us directly via info@hannahshouse.org.au and we can provide you with an authority to fundraise letter from us.
How do I ask people for donations?
The number one reason why people donate to charities is because they were asked – so don’t be afraid of asking! Tell your supporters why the cause is important to you and remind them that every dollar counts – every dollar will go towards supporting Perth children who need it the most. Many workplaces also offer dollar matching, so it’s worth asking your boss if this is something they will do.

If you donated directly to a Hannah’s House online fundraising page, you’ll be able to download your tax receipt and you’ll receive an email with it attached. Please note, if you’re depositing cash donations received from others at your event (in a lump sum), this will not be tax deductible.
How do I deposit cash donations?
Easy! You can simply make your own online donation that matches the cash you’ve raised.
