About Us
Welcome to Wine Drive: Fundraising Made Easy!
At Wine Drive, our journey began with a genuine understanding of the challenges faced by volunteers and committees in organising fundraising events. The catalyst for our business was Bek, co-founder and the heart behind Wine Drive, who personally experienced the time-consuming nature of traditional fundraising during her tenure on the fundraising committee for our child's kindergarten.
A Personal Touch: Our Roots in Fundraising
Bek's dedication led her to organize a wine drive for the kindergarten, which, while successful, proved to be incredibly labour-intensive. From printing ordering lists to managing spreadsheets, packing orders and collecting credit card details, the process was demanding. Recognising the time constraints faced by volunteers and committees, we envisioned a better, more efficient way to fundraise.
Innovation in Action: Streamlining the Process
Wine Drive was born out of the desire to simplify and enhance the fundraising experience. We developed an online system that takes care of every detail, from designing the website in the organisation's colours and logo to creating social media adverts, A4 flyers, and drinks lists. Our commitment is to handle everything, eliminating the need for volunteers to assist with the process.
More Than Just Wine: A Diverse Selection
Driven by our passion for quality wines, we curated a diverse selection to suit all tastes and budgets. Understanding that preferences vary, we expanded our product range to include spirits and beers, ensuring there's something for everyone. What sets us apart is that all our products are priced below the recommended retail value, offering exceptional value to both organisations and supporters.
Expanding Horizons: Our 2024 Journey
In just one year, Wine Drive has achieved remarkable success, raising over $35,000 for various causes, including schools, kindergartens, children’s centres, dance studios, calisthenics clubs, charities, and sports clubs. Our largest fundraiser generated over $2500 and the smallest was $100, emphasising our commitment to assisting everyone in achieving their fundraising goals.
Looking to the Future: Exciting Plans for 2024
As we step into 2024, Wine Drive is set to embark on new ventures. We have exciting plans in the pipeline, including more promotions, diverse product offerings, and thoughtfully curated mixed cases. Our commitment remains unwavering: to make fundraising as seamless and easy as possible for busy volunteers, committees, and governing councils.
At Wine Drive, we don't just offer products; we offer a partnership. Join us in raising the bar for fundraising, one sip at a time.
Cheers,
Graeme and Bek Hudson
Co-Founders, Wine Drive
