Expressions School Tea Towel Fundraising October Newsletter

As we head towards the busiest time of the year for school tea towel fundraising, the team at Expressions Fundraising Australia is here to help you make the most of your 2025 fundraiser. Whether you’re a seasoned coordinator or new to the role, now’s the time to finalise your artwork and order details to secure your spot before the cut-off dates!

Important Cut-Off Dates for 2025

✔️ Artwork Cut-Off: 25th October
✔️ Final Numbers Due: 8th November

There’s still time to get involved, but don’t wait too long! Schools, childcare centres and community groups across Australia are getting their Expressions Tea Towels ready for the end-of-year rush. These timeless keepsakes not only make beautiful gifts but also raise much-needed funds for your community.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Fundraise

October and November are the ideal months to run a tea towel fundraiser. With school events, markets, and holidays around the corner, your designs will make the perfect gifts for parents, grandparents, and carers. Plus, by getting your orders in before the cut-off, you’ll receive your products in time for Christmas stalls and end-of-year celebrations.

Top Tips for a Successful Fundraiser

After 25 years helping schools and childcare centres across Australia, we’ve learnt a thing or two about what makes a fundraiser thrive! Here are our expert tips:

• Plan ahead: Schedule your fundraiser early to avoid conflicts and maximise community participation.
• Spread the word: Use emails, posters, and social media to promote your event. Download free resources from our Marketing Materials page.
• Motivate your community: Share your fundraising goals and show how the funds will benefit your school or centre.
• Involve everyone: Encourage teachers, students, and parents to take part in the artwork and promotion.
• Keep it simple: Offer online ordering options and remind families regularly.
