ACFP Ltd has previously attempted to gain Charity Status with the ACNC. However, we will not be limited as to which group category we will assist with funding.
We were told to choose only one category, eg: schools and education, or sports, or charities, or community development, or animal welfare, etc.
Our fundraising business model does not limit us as to WHOM we may partner with to assist with their fundraising.
Therefore, ACFP Ltd is able to partner with any Community Group, Sporting Team or Club, School, Charity and Charitable cause, in NSW, without restriction.
We’re a licensed fundraising platform (NSW CFN #25547) that helps schools and community causes raise funds through professionally managed raffle and art union draws. We handle all legal compliance, prize management, and ticket distribution, allowing schools and community causes to focus on their community engagement.
For every $10 ticket sold, your school receives a minimum of $6.50 directly. With our proven system and prize structure, schools can generate significant funding while offering their supporters the chance to win substantial prizes.
Your school/community cause receives a unique “cause page” on our website. Supporters can purchase tickets online, selecting buy now on your page as their chosen cause. All ticket management, distribution, and winner notification is handled through our secure platform.
Your main focus is promoting the fundraiser to your community. We handle all legal compliance, prize procurement, winner selection, and prize distribution.
Winners are selected using randomdraws.com.au.
randomdraws.com.au™ is a cloud based third party service in Australia to hold independent draws for trade promotions and chance based competitions.
Each ticket purchased is assigned a unique number in our system. During the draw, randomdraws.com.au generates winning numbers without human intervention, ensuring complete fairness and transparency.

Our random draw system and secure infrastructure is government certified and compliant for all Australian states. This means that you can feel confident that your draw is going to be unbiased and can be trusted by your competition entrants and any potential government auditors. You will receive a certificate of compliance with each draw with all draw and approval details.
For the Schools Gold Millionaires Art Union, major draws take place at the end of each school term. Weekly bonus draws occur throughout the promotional period, with specific dates announced on our website and social media channels. Community Raffles and Art Unions may have different timeframes, which will be clearly communicated for each specific Raffle or Art Union.
While physical attendance at draws is not possible due to our online format, we will have the live draw hosted on multiple social media accounts online, as well as publishing draw results immediately on our website and social media channels. A recording of the draw process is made available for transparency.
Winners are notified on a call on the livestream drawing event.
Notification will also be received via the email address you provided during ticket purchase. We recommend adding @australiancommunityfundraising.com.au to your contacts to ensure our notifications don’t end up in spam folders.
Gold prizes can be redeemed for cash at the current market rate directly through ABC BULLION, our gold supplier. They will guide you through this process when they contact you after the draw.
In Australia, lottery and raffle prizes are generally not considered taxable income. However, we recommend consulting with a tax professional regarding your specific situation, particularly for major prizes.
We make multiple attempts to contact winners using the information provided during ticket purchase. If a prize remains unclaimed after 3 months, we follow the regulations set by the relevant state authority, which may include conducting a redraw or donating the prize value to the cause after 12 months.
Tickets can be purchased by anyone 18 years or older with an Australian address. Our current raffles operate under NSW permits, though we plan to expand to other states in the future.
