Fundraising & Stamps
There are many different ways you can financially support God’s mission through Baptist Mission Australia.
Fundraising
Churches often report back to us on creative fundraising activities including theatre nights, garage sales, clothing markets, dinners, trivia nights, cake stalls, car washes and more!
Why not plan a fundraiser in your church and support our teams across the globe?
Stamps
Don’t throw away your envelopes.
For more than 50 years, faithful churches like yours have been collecting stamps to raise money to help fund the Baptist Mission Australia ministry.
Sold to local dealers and collectors each year.
Number of stamps in one kilogram.
Donated by this stamp ministry in 2020.
Your old stamps can raise money for Baptist Mission Australia
Save, trim and send us your old stamps.
We sort then sell them to local stamp dealers and collectors.
A kilogram of used stamps can raise up to $40!
If you can trim and sort the stamps before sending them in, it saves us a lot of work! Just cut the stamps off the envelope, leaving a 5mm border around the edge. Sort them by denomination for Australian stamps and by country for overseas stamps.
Drop off your used to our National Office in Melbourne, or your local Baptist Mission Australia State Office.
There is a team of volunteers operating in each state. They collect bags of stamps from different businesses and individuals. They work hard trimming the stamps and sorting them. The generous hard work of all our volunteers means that our operating costs are virtually nil and the huge profit can go to the work of Baptist Mission Australia. To get involved, contact your State Office.
Baptist Mission Australia has produced a series of state based Stamp Ministry posters with an editiable text box for you personalise with contact details and collect stamps on behalf of the state offices.
A4 colour posters for your church, community group or work noticeboard and A5 colour flyers to be handed out to your friends. Download these promotional materials for your Australian state here:
