St Kilda Mums Fundraising with Art

By Expressions Fundraising Australia on 07 February 2015

At Expressions, we believe in fundraising that not only raises money but also brings communities together. A shining example of this is St Kilda Mums, a Melbourne-based charity that partnered with celebrated artist Madeleine Stamer to create a unique tea towel fundraiser. Their beautifully designed tea towels have become cherished keepsakes while raising vital funds for families in need.

Why St Kilda Mums Chose a Tea Towel Fundraiser

Expressions Tea Towels are more than just practical items, they’re lasting keepsakes. For St Kilda Mums, the choice was simple: tea towels combine art, community spirit, and fundraising power. Every sale directly supported their mission: “to share in the joy of motherhood, in partnership with support agencies, by recycling baby essentials.”

Thanks to the success of this fundraiser, babies could sleep safely in cots, mums had prams for essential trips, and toddlers received clothes and shoes to see them through the season. This is fundraising that changes lives.

Extending the Impact Across Victoria

The tea towels were such a hit that St Kilda Mums expanded the project, creating custom versions for Geelong Mums and Eureka Mums. Together, these charities reached even more families across the state, proving that a simple idea can make a big difference.

Why Tea Towel Fundraisers Work

  • Practical keepsakes: Tea towels are used daily, making them a constant reminder of community support.
  • Eco-friendly fundraising: 100% cotton and cotton/linen blend, long-lasting, and sustainable, the perfect alternative to disposable fundraising products.
  • Inclusive and creative: Designs can feature student drawings, community artwork, or meaningful logos.
  • Cost-free to run: Schools and groups pay nothing upfront, making it one of the best school fundraising ideas in Australia.
