Where Your Funds Go

Many in our community are eager to support our mission—but did you know there are rules around fundraising for charities in Australia? You can’t just run a raffle or go door-to-door without the appropriate licence.

But don’t worry—we’ve made it easy (and legal!) to support the cause in meaningful ways. Here’s how you can help:

Every dollar raised supports the Australian POTS Foundation’s mission to improve diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for those with POTS. Your contribution helps fund community-informed research, clinician education, advocacy for equitable healthcare access, and the creation of vital resources for people living with POTS across Australia.

Here’s a ‘How To Guide’

GoFundMe

Start your own GoFundMe and select Australian POTS Foundation as your beneficiary! Whether you’re knitting, gaming, baking, or staying in your PJs for 24 hours—there’s no limit to how you can raise funds. We’ve created a step-by-step guide to help you set it up with ease.

Here’s a ‘How To Guide’

Move for a Cause

We know that many people living with POTS can’t participate in physical fundraising events themselves—and that’s okay. But often, you have an amazing community of family, friends, and carers who want to do something to help.
Encourage your supporters to walk, run, cycle—or even stroll on your behalf. They can join a local registered GrassRootz event and raise funds directly for the Australian POTS Foundation.

If you’re participating in an event that isn’t registered with Grassrootz, you can still fundraise for the Australian POTS Foundation! Simply set up your own GoFundMe page and select Australian POTS Foundation as your chosen charity.

Below you can find a list of events happening this year.
