Start a fundraiser today to bring freedom to those living in slavery
Getting started is easier than you might think. There are lots of creative ways to launch a campaign that will help end slavery—for good.
Follow these steps to start fundraising
Step 1: Develop your fundraising idea
Choose your skill and your occasion: dedicate your birthday, run a race or organise a special event. Check out our fundraising overview for important information on how to get started.

Step 2: Create your fundraising page
Raise funds as an individual or rally your friends and fundraise as a group. Your personal fundraising page will track your fundraising goal and contribute to IJM Australia's fundraising tally. Our preferred platform is Grassrootz (and it does help with admin if we have everybody on the same platform).
