| What is the Gold Coast Community Fund?
The Gold Coast Community Fund is an incorporated body that was established in early 2000 by some of the city's leading business figures. The Fund seeks to raise money through regular art unions and donations, creating a central pool of money for distribution to charities, community organisations and individuals in emergency need. The Gold Coast Community Fund offers a more systematic approach to fundraising and the perfect fundraising solution for not-for-profit organisations large and small.

| How to fund raise and raise funds for your Group - Club - Charity - School
If you are a not for profit organisation you can assist the GC Community fund fundraise while fundraising money for your organisation by helping us sell our Art Union tickets.
Participants in past art unions have fund raise thousands of dollars for their organisations, while also helping those less fortunate within our community.
The Gold Coast Community Fund coordinates major art unions in conjunction with major sponsor Harvey Norman. Tickets are offered to any local not-for-profit organisation such as schools, charities, sporting clubs, theatre groups, music groups, community groups Etcetera, to sell on behalf of the Fund and, for every $2.00 ticket they sell, they receive $1.00, when the fund has received the money from your ticket sales, the fund treasurer will issue a cheque to your organisation. The more tickets sold by the groups, the more money they receive without the problems of arranging permits, prizes and presentations.
