How to promote your group
As the first groups started to mobilise, they talked to us about ways that they could find group members, fundraise and seek donations. Many of them created great materials to use and they’ve kindly shared them with us for this toolkit. Please do let us know what you think and share anything you’ve created! (email media@refugeesponsorship.org.au).
Don’t forget, if you fundraise via the Shout for Good platform, all donations over $2 are tax deductible. If you are a group looking to fundraise, contact Sophie at info@refugeesponsorship.org.au to learn more about using this tool.

Media & promotions toolkit

Media the CRISP has attracted a lot of coverage, which has helped groups fundraise and find members. We’ve written some media tips and a CRSA group provided this draft article that you can tailor and submit to your local paper, who can also use the photos on the right. Please ensure you have meaningful consent from participants and let us know about upcoming media, so that we can notify the Department of Home Affairs.





Introduce your group while most people are keen to support groups, it’s important to clearly outline who you are and what you are doing.
You can use our templates to introduce your group and CRISP to businesses, create a note for your community noticeboard or email people who may be interested in joining or supporting your group.
