Only with people like you, we can reach to the most disadvantaged children of villages in Iran. Together we can pay for the transportation, buy school bag full of stationery and protect a child from cold winter with a jacket as cheap as $20.

 

Our campaign network stretch across the Australia and around the world. We would love you to join us!

 

We want you to be a 'Yavar' (Yavar in Persian means helper / supporter). By doing in things your way, you are the person who makes a real difference.

 

You may join a campaign or support one of our projects by holding your own fundraiser or charity event. You even can propose an educational project to Yarra Foundation, get the approval and fundraise for that.

​

Here are the steps to a successful fundraising:

​

1. Choose a fun event, activity or adventure

Choose a simple fundraising method such as morning tea or a bar night with friends. You may also fundraise in birthday parties at school or work place. If you are a social media person or have a long list of emails addresses you may be able to fund raise online only.

​

2. Set yourself a target

Set an achievable fundraising target to keep yourself motivated. Do not forget to pick a date limit .If you are holding an event, try to minimise your cost.

 

3. Share the words and ideas

Record a video of yourself and share it with your friends on Facebook or Instagram. Write short emails and share Yarra campaign with your network. Many hands make the work easier and lighter and it's more fun with your friends.

​

4. Collect the funds, hit the target :)

In an event or a celebration, you can collect cash or sell ticket; but do not forget to tell your guests how much you raised. With online fundraising, you can simply share our campaign/donation links with your network and ask them reference your name while donating. We give you a weekly update of your fundraising progress.

 

5. Make it official

Upon receipts of the funds that you collected we provide you a certificate or an acknowledgement letter. If you provide us the donors’ emails, we will forward the acknowledgements to them with our great appreciation.
