If you've ever organised a school fundraiser, you know the drill. Weeks of planning, boxes of chocolate bars etc, endless spreadsheets, and a whole lot of chasing parents for money. By the end of it, you're exhausted — and wondering if it was even worth it.
What if there was a better way? A fundraiser that practically runs itself, raises real money for your school, and has kids buzzing with excitement from day one?
That's exactly what we've built at My Artwork Plate.
What Makes It Different
Most fundraisers ask families to buy something they don't really need — a chocolate they didn't choose, a candle they'll never burn, a product with no personal connection. The result? Lukewarm interest and disappointing sales.
Our fundraiser flips that on its head. Here's how it works:
Children create the product. Every child draws, paints, or scribbles their very own artwork. (colored pens are best) That drawing then gets printed onto a beautiful, personalised plate, mug, bowl, puzzle, bag, or more. Parents aren't buying something generic — they're buying their child's art on a product they'll actually use and treasure. All our dinnerware is dishwasher and microwave free.
The emotional pull is instant. And that translates directly into sales.
How It Works in 4 Simple Steps
1. Register your school or organisation Sign up for free at myartworkplate.com. We'll assign your school a unique fundraising code and send you a digital welcome pack with everything you need.
2. Share the flyer with families Send our ready-made digital flyer home with the kids, email it to parents, or post it in your school newsletter. We recommend doing both for maximum reach. No printing costs, no door-to-door selling.
3. Parents order online using your code Parents visit our website, upload their child's artwork, choose their product, and enter your school's unique code at checkout. Every order is tracked automatically — no manual collection, no cash handling.
4. Your school earns 20% of every sale For every single product ordered using your code, your school receives a 20% commission. No admin, no follow-up, no fuss. We handle all the printing, packaging, and delivery directly to each family.
Run It All Year Round
Unlike traditional fundraisers with a hard start and end date, our program runs year-round. Launch a campaign for a specific event — a school camp, new library books, sports equipment — or keep it ticking along as an ongoing income stream. Families can order whenever they like, which means your fundraiser never goes cold.
When Do You Get Paid?
We pay out monthly for any school that has earned $100 or more. If you haven't hit that threshold yet, no problem — you can request your funds at any time.
Real Funds for Real Needs
Schools across Australia have raised thousands of dollars through My Artwork Plate — funding school camps, classroom resources, playgrounds, and more. And the best part? Every family walks away with something genuinely beautiful to remember.
