We also do fundraising
At Near & Dearest, we believe in the power of community, and we'd love to be able to play a small part in helping organisations and groups do good. That's why we're proud to offer fundraising partnerships that are simple to run and rewarding for everyone involved.
Our personalised photo magnets make a brilliant fundraising product for schools, sports clubs, churches, community groups, and organisations of all kinds. Because they're custom, their appeal is wide: Everyone loves a keepsake that feels personal, and that's exactly what makes our magnets such an easy sell to your network.
We've designed our fundraising process to be as simple as possible for you, because we know that running a fundraiser is already a big job.
We'd love to be part of your next fundraiser. Because we can only take on a limited number of fundraising partnerships per year to make sure we can give each one the attention it deserves, make sure you get in touch early to secure your spot.
Here's how it works
1. Get in touch
Reach out to us to kick things off. We'll talk through your goals, your timeline, what will work best for your group, and agree on the contribution Near & Dearest will make to your organisation from the total sales amount.
2. Spread the word
Share your fundraiser with your community, whether that's a school newsletter, a club Facebook group, or a simple message to friends and family. We'll provide you with a unique fundraiser link to share, so your supporters can place their orders straight through our website. No cash handling, no spreadsheets, no chasing people up.
3. We'll take it from here
Every order comes through your link, so we can track everything on our end. Order collection, personalisation, production, and fulfilment are all taken care of, along with all the fiddly admin that can turn a fundraiser into a headache. Your supporters simply place their orders, and we do the work.
When your fundraiser closes, we'll send you a full breakdown of funds raised and arrange prompt payment to your organisation. It's a fundraiser your community will actually enjoy participating in, and one you'll want to run again.

Island of Misfits Fundraiser
We're currently fundraising with Island of Misfits to help get their leaders to a leaders' retreat.
Island of Misfits is a community for neurodivergent young people and others who don't always fit neatly into the boxes the world puts them in. They're doing really important work creating a space where people can belong, connect, grow and be themselves.
You can help by purchasing a set of custom 5 × 5 cm pressed photo magnets.
How it works
When you use this link or enter the code "Island of Misfits" at checkout when purchasing a custom 5 × 5 cm magnet set (sets come with 3, 6, 9 or 12 magnets), Near and Dearest will contribute $1 per magnet towards Island of Misfit's fundraiser.
You'll get a beautiful set of custom magnets, and they'll be a little bit closer to making it to their retreat.
Fundraiser closes 4 September
Thank you for helping support the Island of Misfits team!
