Most people and businesses want to help. They just haven't been asked yet. One email from you could bring in the beds, car seats, school uniforms, linen, food vouchers or funding that help a mum bring her children home.
You don't need a background in fundraising. If you're friendly, happy to reach out and good at following up, we'll show you the rest. You'll have your own Claude AI account to help research who to contact and draft your emails, plus our wish list and templates to get you started. It's all online, so you can help from anywhere.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Finding local businesses, retailers, community groups, schools, churches and service clubs that might help
- Emailing and following up to ask for specific items, vouchers or support
- Helping with campaigns like our Christmas appeal, Welcome Home bundles and Sponsor a Room
- Keeping a simple tracker of who you've contacted and what they've offered
- Saying thank you and helping us build lasting partnerships
What You'll Gain:
- Real fundraising and partnerships experience, valued across the not-for-profit and business worlds
- Your own Claude AI account, and skills in using AI for outreach
- Confidence in professional communication and relationship building
- Experience you can talk about in job applications and interviews
- Seeing exactly where the donations you secure end up
Who We'd Love to Hear From:
- Students in business, marketing, communications or community services
- People returning to work who want to build confidence and skills
- People with sales, retail or customer service experience
- Anyone friendly, proactive and willing to learn
Give What You Can:
There's no minimum time commitment. Whether you can give an hour here and there or a few hours a week, there's a place for you. Our volunteers work as a team and share the load, so every bit of time makes a difference.
About Tanya's Home:
Tanya's Home Limited is a Victorian charity founded from lived experience. We support mothers affected by addiction, family violence and other complex circumstances who are involved with Child Protection, and help them keep or reunify with their children. Our support includes advocacy, Children's Court support, treatment and rehabilitation pathways, peer support, transport and emergency essentials. We hold DGR and PBI status and are preparing to open our first supported home for mothers. We're small, growing and full of heart, and our volunteers are a real part of the team.
Your Impact:
Every yes you get turns into something real: a bed for a child's first night back home, linen and towels for our new house, a mum who feels someone cares. You'll help a small charity punch well above its weight.
