Picket Plaque Fundraisers: The Sparkling Secret to Lasting Impact

Looking for a fundraising idea that stands out, lasts a lifetime, and brings your community together—literally and figuratively? Say hello to picket plaques! At evright.com, we’ve helped schools, sporting clubs, and organisations across Australia turn simple fences into powerful fundraising tools (and stunning works of art) with custom picket plates and plaques. If you’re searching for “fundraisers for schools,” “fundraising ideas for sports clubs,” or just a way to make your mark, you’re in the right place!

Picket plaques (also known as picket plates) are custom-made plates attached to fence pickets, benches, or walls. Each plaque can be engraved with a donor’s name, a special message, or even a memorial tribute. They’re a creative, tangible way for supporters to be part of your project—while helping you raise serious funds.

At evright.com, we create picket plaques using premium metals like stainless steel, aluminium, brass, and Trolase (a tough, weather-resistant acrylic perfect for outdoor use). Available in popular sizes like A5 and 60 x 40mm, our plaques are built to shine for years—rain, hail, or footy season!

Let’s face it: sausage sizzles are delicious, but they’re over in a flash. Raffles are fun, but the prizes get forgotten. Picket plaque fundraisers, on the other hand, are a lasting legacy. Every time someone walks past your fence, they’ll see the names and messages of the people who made your project possible.
Here’s why organisations love picket plaques:

• Permanent recognition: Donors get their name or message displayed for years.
• Community spirit: Every plaque tells a story and brings people together.
• Flexible fundraising: Set your own donation levels, plaque sizes, and messages.
• No waste: Unlike chocolate drives, these plaques won’t melt in the sun!

It’s easier than you think! Here’s our tried-and-true process:
1. Choose Your Material & Size
Pick from our range of metals—stainless steel, aluminium, brass, or Trolase. Popular sizes include A5 (great for longer messages) and 60 x 40mm (perfect for names or short dedications). We’ll help you choose what works best for your project and budget.
2. Set Your Fundraising Goal & Plaque Price
Decide how much you want to raise and set your donation levels. For example, $100 for a standard plaque or $250 for a premium spot. The flexibility is all yours!
3. Launch Your Campaign
Spread the word! Use newsletters, social media, and good old-fashioned word of mouth. We can even help with sample images and promotional copy—just ask.
4. Collect Orders & Messages
Donors fill out a simple form with their details and message. We’ll keep everything organised and double-check spellings (because “thank you” shouldn’t become “thnak you”).
5. We Make the Magic Happen
Our team gets to work engraving and finishing each plaque to perfection. Whether it’s a stainless steel plate, a moulded brass plaque, or a colourful Trolase tag, every piece is made with care.
6. Installation & Celebration
Once your plaques are ready, it’s time for the big reveal! Host an unveiling event, invite your donors, and let everyone see the impact they’ve made.

We’re proud to be the “best trophy store Adelaide” and beyond, serving schools, sporting clubs, and organisations who’ve made picket plaques their fundraising MVP. Here are a few shining examples:

1. Glenelg Football Club
Glenelg Football Club took their fundraising to the next level with a picket plate campaign. Tigers fans and local supporters were quick to snap up custom stainless steel plaques, each engraved with their name or a personal message. The club’s boundary fence is now a shimmering testament to community pride and long-time supporters—plus, the funds helped Glenelg upgrade their facilities for future footy stars.

2. Norwood Football Club
The Redlegs of Norwood Football Club are legends on the field and in fundraising. Their picket plaque initiative let fans, families, and sponsors leave a permanent mark at the club’s historic home ground. With a mix of aluminium and brass plaques (including some A5-sized beauties for major donors), Norwood’s fence is a walk-through hall of fame and a brilliant example of fundraising ideas for sports clubs that work.

3. Sturt Football Club
Sturt Football Club’s picket plaque fundraiser brought Double Blues supporters together like never before. Members and alumni purchased custom plates—some as memorial plaques for loved ones, others to celebrate big wins or family milestones. The result? A vibrant display of stainless steel and Trolase plaques that tells the story of Sturt’s rich history and passionate fans.

4. Port Adelaide Football Club
Port Adelaide Football Club knows how to make an impact on and off the field. Their picket plaque campaign gave the Power faithful a chance to be part of club history (and a pretty stylish fence). With engraved aluminium and brass plates, every supporter’s contribution is proudly on display, helping fund club projects and creating a sense of belonging that lasts well beyond game day.
