When you register your fundraiser and accept the terms and conditions below, we will issue you with an official authorisation to fundraise on behalf of SCHF (which will expire on one month after your event). You will then be authorised to organise a fundraising activity on behalf of SCHF and communicate to the public that proceeds from your activity will be donated to us.

To help make sure that you are fundraising legally, please read and follow the conditions below, as well as follow the NSW Department of Fair Trading Conditions for Charitable Fundraising Authorities.

• Direct all media enquiries to your contact at Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation.
• Not use the name or logo of Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation in a way which could damage our reputation.
