Across Australia, school sports are more than just physical activity—they’re an essential part of education, building resilience, teamwork, and confidence in young people. Yet, financial constraints often prevent children from participating in sports, especially when extra costs like travel, equipment, and tournament fees are involved. At RepRaiser, we’re committed to fixing this problem by providing schools with an easy, effective way to fundraise. As teacher Leanne Allen shares, “All too often I see kids missing out on sporting opportunities due to financial restraints. It’s amazing to see actions being taken to fix this problem. I highly recommend this great team!”
Why Charity Sponsorship is Crucial for School Sports in Australia
Financial barriers can keep students from participating in sports, hindering not only their athletic development but also their personal growth. Charity sponsorship provides essential support, enabling students from all backgrounds to access the benefits of school sports. RepRaiser understands the importance of making these opportunities available to every child, regardless of their financial situation. By offering a digital fundraising solution, RepRaiser allows schools to easily connect with sponsors and community supporters to secure the necessary funds.

Imagine the Difference: Success Stories with RepRaiser’s Platform
RepRaiser has supported many schools and families in securing sports sponsorships. Here are a few examples that show how RepRaiser could work for your school:
- Imagine a Primary School Supporting Young Netballers: Suppose a primary school wants to cover tournament fees for a group of talented netball players. With RepRaiser, the school creates a campaign and shares it with the community. Imagine raising over $2,000 through digital raffle ticket sales, giving these young players the opportunity to represent their school without financial stress.
- Helping a High School Soccer Team Compete Nationally: For a high school soccer team in Northern Australia, the costs of an interstate tournament are significant. RepRaiser’s platform allows the school to fundraise efficiently, raising over $3,500 through digital ticket sales. This support enables every player to participate, ensuring no student misses out due to financial constraints.

Our Values
The main benefit of creating our social enterprise later in life (we are all founders in our forties), is we have both business and life experience. We strongly believe a healthy culture is based on a purposeful and practiced set of values. Our very first action was to create a meaningful set of values to guide every decision we make.
We recruit staff and key partners who share these principles and compliment our culture.
Show Kindness
Simple!……Kindness is expected! It starts with being kind to ourselves and the rest is duck soup.
Our Better Selves
Our own physical and emotional wellbeing is a priority. We are better able to benefit and enrich the lives of others, when we are our better selves.
Community
Strengthen and support one another. We are pleased to support volunteers who are making differences in their communities, and we are grateful for their support in return. We are all in this together!
Appreciate Our Differences
The key to ‘getting along’ is accepting we are, and will always be different from one another. In fact, we think these differences are to be embraced.
Own It!
Our lives are shaped by the choices we make. We can’t control everything, but we should be expected to take resposibilty for our own decisions.
Let’s Play!
The time we spend at work should be enjoyable, memorable, rewarding and motivating. Work hard at having fun!
