- Travel Sponsorship
-
At present Karen totally self-funds several annual trips to Vietnam. The work Karen needs to carry out in Vietnam is now growing at a rapid rate (as you can see from the projects update!), therefore it is imperative for Karen to travel more frequently to Vietnam in order to oversee projects. Lifestart Foundation is looking for travel sponsorship (individual or corporate) that will allow Karen to travel to Vietnam at least four times per year.
- Transportation of donated goods: Are you traveling to Vietnam?
-
Throughout the year many people donate clothing to Karen to take to the orphans and street kids in Vietnam. The amount of clothing being donated now exceeds Karen excess baggage limits!
LSF desperately needs people to take some of this clothing to Vietnam. LSF can supply the bag and will also pay for security wrapping at the airport. If you would like to pack the bag yourself that can be arranged. Please let Karen know how many kilo's you are able to transport.
- Printing Donation
-
Currently all stationary and flyers are printed by Karen, friends, family and volunteers. We are looking for donation or sponsorship from a printing company in order to have future brochures, business cards, letter heads etc. printed at no cost.
- Photographic Developing
-
Each trip to Vietnam Karen takes hundreds (on one occasion, thousands) of photographs. This keeps a visual record of all of the projects undertaken and their progress over time.
LSF is looking for donation or sponsorship for the developing of these photographs.
- Corporate Sponsorship/Support
-
Why not give your business a corporate social responsibility?
LSF is looking for companies or corporate entities who wish to advertise on the Lifestart Foundation website in the future. The sponsorship will ensure the maintenance and continuation of the site, and will be some of the cheapest advertising around.
- Fund-raising Events
-
Would you like to organize and host a fund-raising event to support LSF's work? Here are some ideas: dinner party, car wash, trivia night, fun run or walk, morning tea, BBQ, raffle etc.
- Education
-
- Donate-a-Desk: Cost AUD$50 each.
- Donate-a-Chair: Cost AUD$20 each.
- Donate-a-Student Pack: The student pack will consist of books, pens, pencils and rulers etc. Cost AUD$30 each.
- Old Mobile Phones
-
Don't throw away your old mobile phone! LSF can use these for communication between Karen, the street kids and volunteers when she is working in Vietnam.
- Video Production
-
LSF is hoping to create a DVD about the projects underway in Vietnam and the fund-raising efforts here in Australia.
People with skills in video production are sought to help compile footage onto DVD, create power point presentations and visual slide shows of photographs.
- Picture Framing
-
This will help support the sale of artwork by jobstart recipients
- Collection Tins
-
Perhaps you are able to have a collection tin at your business or place of work.
- Art and Craft for Sale
-
We have a number of very talented, but disadvantaged young people who we are currently supporting. A range of artwork and crafts including wood carvings and silk embroidery are for sale, or perhaps you would like to help us sell these items as a fundraising initiative.

Each year we hold a fundraising Dinner Dance.
