FAQs for WYD08 Fundraisers  

Who is allowed to use the WYD08 Logo for fundraising?
Only Church-Recognised Organisations may apply to be a WYD08 Fundraiser. Individuals will not be permitted to be official fundraisers for WYD08.

Do I need approval to fundraise?
Only if you want to have access to WYD08 fundraising merchandise or if you want to use the WYD08 logo in your fundraising activities.

Even if you are sure that you represent a Church-Recognised Organisation, if you want to sell WYD08 merchandise or use the logo in some way, you will need our approval to become a WYD08 Fundraiser.

What sort of approval do I need?
You will be required to complete a Church Fundraising Request for Approval , if you plan to;

  • Sell WYD08 fundraising merchandise
  • Raise funds via an alternative method e.g. raffle, walk-a-thon, which may involve using or displaying the WYD08 logo in some way

How do I become an approved WYD08 Fundraiser?
You must complete and submit a Church Fundraising Request for Approval form. If your request is approved, you will be issued with a ' WYD08 Fundraiser Code '. Once you have a Fundraiser Code, you are able to purchase merchandise (see below) and/or commence the fundraising activities specified in the approval.

How long does approval take?
Generally an approval will take no longer than 5 business days.

What do I do with my 'WYD08 Fundraiser Code'?
Once you have a WYD08 Fundraiser Code you may:

  • Commence the fundraising activities for which you requested approval;
  • Visit the WYD08 Shop and access a protected section of the site devoted to WYD08 fundraising merchandise.

You will be required to enter your WYD08 Fundraiser Code in a special box marked 'fundraising' which will:

  • Allow you to access a select range of WYD08 fundraising merchandise
  • Permit you to order bulk quantities of WYD08 fundraising merchandise
  • Provide you with special discounted prices on WYD08 fundraising merchandise

This code can also be quoted anytime on request to confirm that your organisation is an approved fundraiser.

If I don't have a credit card can I still purchase my WYD08 Fundraising Merchandise online?

  • Yes
  • When you get to the checkout section you can choose to pay via credit card or EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer). If you choose EFT you will be emailed a confirmation of order which will outline what you have ordered, dollar value of your order in AUS$, address for delivery and your Transaction Number. You will also receive a word document which outlines Corporate Express's banking details for the EFT transfer.
  • Once payment is made and received into Corporate Express' bank (please allow 48 hours from the date of transfer) your order will then be released for shipment.
  • Your goods will be sent to the address on the order via Australia Post with a Tax Invoice enclosed. Please note address must not be a PO Box. Orders placed to a PO Box will not be processed.

What are some suggested 'WYD08 fundraising activities' ?
These may include:

  • Fete Stall selling WYD08 fundraising merchandise
  • Car Wash
  • Trivia Night
  • Movie Night
  • Walk-a-thon

Why do I need to use official WYD08 licensees and suppliers to source fundraising products, or be careful with direct association with commercial businesses?
Official Corporate Partners, Suppliers, Providers and Product Licensees support WYD08 in a very tangible way by providing much needed financial and other assistance to help support the preparations and the program of events for the World Youth Day week. Whether it's by supplying financial assistance, free-of-charge products or services, their people and/or expertise - even volunteers to WYD08 - their support is vitally important to the success of World Youth Day 2008.
Without these partners the task of the WYD08 Organising Committee would be so much harder. We therefore ask that you support these Official Corporate Partners either directly in your fundraising efforts, or by ensuring that your fundraising activities are not mistakenly associated with organisations which are not officially involved with World Youth Day 2008.

How can I become an WYD08 fundraiser?
Simply fill out the Church Fundraising Request for Approval .
