What are the 3 pillars of online fundraising?
DIY
Historically, DIY fundraising was known as community fundraising, but as this space has grown in popularity there has been some confusion with this terminology, especially with third party events.

SIGNATURE
A Signature fundraising campaign is one that owned and operated by the charity for whom participants fundraise for. These events often become part of an organisation’s annual fundraising calendar. Some examples include Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea by the Cancer Council and the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave.
3RD PARTY
A Third Party Event is typically run by a professional events organisation. The event is usually ‘open charity’, meaning at the point of registration, participants have the option to select from a wide range of charities that they can fundraise for.
