No, it’s not a must! We welcome individuals, couples, families, teams, and organisations to sign up.

On this platform, you can create a personal profile page where you’ll be able to share more about your heart for the cause, set a fundraising target, and perhaps even include a fundraising activity! Once you’ve set your page up, you can share it with others and invite them to donate via the page itself.

You can choose any amount within the minimum target of $100 and a maximum of $100,000. Your target amount is up to you!

The Beacons of New Hope fundraising campaign will run from 01 November 2021 – 28 February 2022. During this period, all funds raised for the Beacon of New Hope 2021 Campaign will receive a dollar-for-dollar matching under Toteboard Enhanced Fundraising Grant.

All funds raised will go towards supporting the work of NHCS. We currently run four shelters which provide temporary housing, and several programmes that aim to foster long-term independence and resilience in our clients. You can read more about our initiatives and work here.

Yes, the funds that you’ve raised via your team member page will count towards your team’s fundraising goal.

When you donate to a team on their team profile page, your donation will be shared evenly amongst all members of the team. For example, if you give $100 to a team with five members, each member will "receive" $20 from your donation.

Donations made to a team member's profile page will not be distributed amongst other team members.

Whether you choose to make a donation to a team or team member, your total donation will be reflected in the overall amount raised by the team!

No, you don’t have to! You can simply share about the cause and why you’re supporting us when in conversation with others, and direct them to make a donation via your profile page if they’d like to do so.

Here are some suggestions:

• Ask your friends to donate to your Beacons profile page instead of buying you a birthday present
• Organise a cook/bake sale with proceeds going to NHCS
• Share your creative works such as writing, artwork, or photos for a small price
• Share about our work with your colleagues and invite them to volunteer together

Remember to direct your supporters to give via your individual or team profile page!
