Funding
Get involved with expedition fundraising!
Last year, Challengers raised an average of 70% of the cost of their expedition.At World Challenge we believe fun, educational expeditions should be accessible to all students and we have been helping students raise expedition funds for over 22 years.
Students who raise a significant portion of the program costs experience a greater personal connection to their expedition – and enjoy the satisfaction of a goal achieved.
Money matters...
Admissions officers and future employers look for candidates who can demonstrate motivation, broad experience and a well-rounded education. Funding your expedition gives you the chance to learn the following skills along with the rest of your expedition travel and safety training:- Motivation and goal achievement
- Budgeting and managing money
- Financial planning, target setting and record keeping
How we can help...
At every step of the fundraising process, World Challenge is there to offer support. We offer a full range of tools to help students meet goals.- Scheduled meetings with World Challenge

Fundraising ideas...
Something different..Jonathan Goddard from Brighton Grammar school walked 100 kilometres along the bay from Port Melbourne to South Frankston, then back to Port Melbourne, before finishing at his school. Jonathan raised $7350 in sponsorship to fund his World Challenge expedition to Borneo. He also chose to help Bayley House, a non profit organisation which provides support for adults with an intellectual disability. Half of the amount raised went to his World Challenge expedition and the other half to the house.
Trivia and Auction nights..
The girls at Sacred Heart College in Geelong raised over $10,000 from a trivia/auction night. The team sent letters to local businesses and used their extensive networks to donate prizes for the evening. Well done girls, that's a World Challenge Australia record!!
Themed dinners..
Warragul Regional College held an Indian dinner where parents and challengers came together and cooked an array of Indian dishes and invited family and friends along to enjoy some 'sub continent' cuisine.
Drive-in Night...
Beaconhills College students organised a family 'Drive-in Night' where they managed to organise sponsorship from local businesses to cover their expenses and then made further profits from food sales. In total they raised $3,000!
