Yes. Timaru South School used Raised for its TSS Colour Run 2026 campaign, scheduled for 11 November 2026. Its public page explains that donations support Education Outside the Classroom activities. Open the campaign to see a real school colour-run page and how supporters choose who they are backing.

## What does this public example show?

The campaign identifies Timaru South School as the organiser and explains the purpose in the school's own story. Supporters can choose a donation amount and the team member they want to back. The page links the colour-run activity to a specific school programme rather than a general request for money.

The school describes fundraising for learning outside the classroom and keeping those experiences affordable for families. Your school should write its own purpose and participation information rather than copying another school's story.



## What should our committee look for?

Review the information a family needs before deciding to donate: the organiser, purpose, event timing and participant selection. Look at the supporter journey without entering personal details or making a payment merely to inspect it.

Compare the public example with your school's visibility requirements. A campaign with visible participants is not evidence that every school must use public student lists. Raised Privacy mode can hide public lists and leaderboards while direct participant links remain viewable with the approved display name and team.



## Can we use its total as a target for our school?

Use your own budget and expected participation to set a target. Campaign counters and supporter totals can change; this example does not establish a final reconciled result or the amount retained after expenses. No fixed return is promised for another school.

For a planning estimate, separate donations from platform and processing fees, then deduct your event invoices. The linked budget guide works through distinct NZD and AUD examples using stated assumptions.



## How do we turn the example into our own plan?

Choose the colour-run template, prepare your school's story and decide the class structure before adding students. Review display names, privacy and fee settings before sharing links. Use the pre-launch check with fictional student details first.

1. Agree the school purpose and event responsibilities.
2. Write the story and confirm activity arrangements.
3. Create class teams and add school-approved student names.
4. Check a direct student link and the main campaign page.
5. Send families the event information and approved sponsorship links.
