Ausbuild Community Challenge
Ausbuild Community Challenge Moreton Bay 2025
Join or support a new community-focused fundraising program set to unite local businesses and grassroots organisations across the City of Moreton Bay.
The Ausbuild Community Challenge is presented by Moreton Daily and proudly supported by Ausbuild.
What is the Ausbuild Community Challenge?
20 Community Teams (not-for-profits, charities, and community groups) are matched with 20 local businesses (Corporate Teams) to raise funds and compete in a fun, team-based challenge event.
Together, you’ll promote raffle ticket sales, drive silent auction bids, and compete in a series of challenges in the lead-up to and during Challenge Afternoon. The more points your team earns, the greater your share of the prize pool.
All Community Teams will receive a guaranteed share of the $50,000 prize pool, with final allocations awarded based on each team’s score at the end of Challenge Afternoon. With your help, we’re aiming to raise $100,000 or more — 100% of funds will be distributed directly back to the 20 participating Community Teams.
