Fundraise

Activate your community and help raise money for those living with violence

Do you have a great fundraising idea? Does your school or workplace want to do something to give back to the community? Do you have a group a friends that want to raise money but don't know where to start?

 

Collect for the Annual Street Appeal

The Aviva Street Appeal is on Friday 22 and Saturday 23 May.

Our Annual Street Appeal is Aviva’s biggest fundraising event of the year, but it simply wouldn’t be possible without the support of people like you. Every coin dropped in a bucket offers hope, support and safety for someone experiencing violence.

What's involved?

  • Choose a time slot that suits you
  • Pick up your collection bucket and vest from Aviva
  • Collect for 1-2 hours at your designated location
  • Return your bucket and donations to Aviva to be part of caring community making a real impact

We have collection sites available in Christchurch, Waimakariri and Selwyn from 9am-6pm on both days. See our full site list for 2026 [PDF, 38.4 KB]. Additional sites and locations may be available upon request.

Fundraising Raffle

Raffles are a quick and easy way to raise up to $500. The amount you can raise depends on the number of tickets you sell and the price per ticket.

To get started:

  • Collect prizes: Ask friends and local businesses to donate prizes or vouchers.
  • Get tickets: You can buy raffle books at most stationery stores.
  • Sell tickets: Sell tickets to family, friends and co-workers.
  • Draw a winner: Donate the funds raised to Aviva.

 

Magic Movie Squares

A fun twist on a classic raffle. Use a magic movie squares grid and have people buy their favourite movie on the grid. Once the grid is full, photocopy it, cut out the squares, and draw a winner.

 

Garage Sale

Hold a garage sale or sell items online to raise money. Sell your own items or ask friends to donate things they no longer need. Another option is to take your items to a local consignment store that sells quality second-hand goods. You can then donate your portion of the profits to Aviva.

 

Event-Based Fundraising

Host a quiz night or bingo night. Several venues in Christchurch can run the event for you, and all you need to do is sell tickets. You can also find online resources with everything you need to host a quiz or bingo night yourself. Check out our Fundraising Toolkit for more ideas.
