Example campaign — not a real fundraiser
This page shows how a school or community project could be presented on Ready Fund Grow. The organisation, location and project details are fictional, and it isn't accepting donations.
A kitchen garden for every class
Example Primary School·Illustrative example · VIC
Six wicking garden beds so every class could grow, cook and share fresh produce.
The project
This example shows how a primary school might present a kitchen garden project. The school already runs garden lessons and has outgrown its space.
Six wicking beds would give each year level its own growing space, plus a shared herb bed the canteen could use. Wicking beds hold water at the base, so the garden can survive the school holidays without a volunteer roster.
Students would plan the plantings, weigh the harvest in maths and cook it in the kitchen program. Surplus produce could go home with families who would benefit from fresh food.

What if we don't reach our fundraising target?
Every contribution counts. You don't need to reach your fundraising target to access the funds raised for your approved project.
If your campaign raises less than expected, Ready Fund Grow will work with you to adjust the project scope, deliver it in stages or find another suitable way to achieve its intended charitable purpose. The funds raised remain available to support your project, subject to the usual verification and funding arrangements.
For this project: If less than the full goal were raised, the school could build fewer beds, starting with the shared beds every year level can use.
What a real campaign adds
- Opening and closing dates, and an expected delivery date.
- Live progress toward the funding goal and a supporter wall.
- Project updates posted by the organisation as work happens.
- A way for people to follow the project and hear what was delivered.
