Frequently Asked Questions
Need help? You’ll find quick answers to the most common questions about joining, fundraising, donating and using your online page.
General
How do I get involved?
Just hit the Sign Up button in the menu, choose how you want to fundraise, and pop in a few details. In less than a minute, you’ll have your very own fundraising page ready to go.
From there, it’s all about sharing your page with friends and family and letting them cheer you on. If you want a quick rundown of the different fundraising options, the How It Works page has you covered.
You’re officially on your way to becoming one in a million.
Will my fundraiser make a difference in the world?
Yes, more than you can imagine! Every dollar you raise helps give mums and babies access to safe births, medical care, nutrition, shelter and long‑term support that can completely change the course of a family’s life. When you fundraise, you’re not just helping one moment in time, you’re helping create safer beginnings and stronger futures for generations.
Your effort, your challenge, your page, it all counts. You really are making a difference.
Who are the nominated impact partners for The Active Faith Foundation?
We've partnered with one of the world’s leading international aid organisations, Compassion Australia, who deliver life‑saving programs on the frontline, from safe births and medical care to nutrition, shelter, education and long‑term support for families.
These partnerships ensure every fundraiser and every donation creates meaningful, lasting change where it matters most.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. You need to be 13 or older to fundraise for the 1 Million Pledge. Anyone under 13 won’t be able to register, and fundraisers aged 13–16 will have their profile photo hidden for safety.
Fundraising
What type of fundraisers can I do?
It is totally up to you! You can:
- Do It Your Way and dream up your own challenge or try one of our ideas
- Fundraise at school or uni with your classmates
- Run a workplace fundraiser with your team
- Donate directly to the 1 Million Pledge
- Join Move To A Million in October, our 100km-in-a-month challenge
Where can I get fundraising ideas?
Our How It Works page is packed with fun fundraising ideas to get you started.
Can I join from outside of Australia?
Absolutely. Anyone can join the 1 Million Pledge from overseas.
Our system accepts international donations in Australian dollars using VISA or MasterCard. You’ll receive a receipt by email, but you’ll need to check with your local financial advisor to see whether your donation is tax‑deductible in your country.
Are there any rules about fundraising I should know about?
You’ll just need to make sure your fundraiser follows the fundraising laws in your State or Territory.
Will I be able to share my fundraiser on social media?
Definitely. Once your fundraising page is set up, you can share it straight to your social media so your friends, family, and community can get behind you. Sharing your page is one of the best ways to spread the word, build momentum, and hit your fundraising goal faster.
Donations
Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes. All donations over $2.00 are tax‑deductible and you’ll automatically receive a tax receipt by email.
When a person donates to my fundraiser, how is the money collected?
All donations go directly to the 1 Million Pledge through our secure fundraising platform. You don’t need to handle any money yourself, everything is processed automatically and safely and your fundraising total updates in real time.
Can I make a special donation or donate on behalf of a business?
Yes. If you’re planning a special contribution or donating on behalf of a business or organisation, we’d love to support you directly. Just contact our team at activefaith.au@gmail.com, and we’ll guide you through the process and provide anything you need.
Policies and Legal
Do I need to have public liability insurance for my event and/or fundraiser?
Public liability insurance isn’t provided by the 1 Million Pledge. It’s a good idea to check what’s required for your specific activity and consider arranging cover if there’s any chance of risk.
Can I use the 1 Million Pledge logo?
To protect the integrity of the 1 Million Pledge brand, our logo can’t be copied, altered or used without permission. If you’d like to use it for your fundraising activity, please get in touch with us at activefaith.au@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to help.
