Chase It Forward Fund
This year, for the first time ever, the Broken Hill to Sydney Team Chase is giving teams an even bigger opportunity to make a difference through the Chase It Forward Fund.
Win funding for your community
We’ve set aside a $5,500 community donation pool that participating teams can win and direct towards organisations creating change where they live.
This isn’t about taking home a prize for yourself.
It’s about helping communities become safer, stronger and free from domestic and family violence.
Every kilometre you complete already helps spark conversations and drive change. Now, your team also has the chance to invest directly in the people and programs making a difference in your own community.
Creating change where it matters
The Chase It Forward Fund gives teams the opportunity to support organisations working to prevent domestic and family violence and strengthen local communities.
Whether that’s a local initiative close to your heart, an organisation making a difference where you live, or a program helping create safer and more respectful relationships, your team can help direct support where it matters most to you.
How it works
There are eight opportunities to Chase It Forward across the event.
Community Impact Draws
The more teammates you have registered, the better your chances.
There are three Community Impact Draws during the campaign:
- 19 July 2026 – $500
- 29 August 2026 – Sponsored by JD Sports $1000
- 10 September 2026 – $500
Each eligible team member counts as an entry into the draw, so building your team can increase your chances of winning.
Line Honours
Speed counts too.
The first teams across the finish line in each of these categories will direct a donation to an approved organisation of their choice:
- First Team of 10 across the finish line – $750
- First Team of 20 across the finish line – $750
Fundraising Awards
Raise funds, create impact and climb the leaderboard.
The top fundraising teams at the end of the event will direct:
- First place: $1,200
- Second place: $800
- Third place: $500
FAQs
Can we nominate our own organisation?
Yes. Teams can nominate their own organisation provided it meets the eligibility requirements outlined in the Terms and Conditions and aligns with the values of Run Against Violence.
What if we don’t know a local organisation to nominate?
That’s okay. We can help identify suitable organisations working in domestic and family violence prevention in your community. Teams can also choose to direct their donation to NAPCAN’s LoveBites program.
What makes a charity or organisation eligible?
To be eligible, the nominated organisation must:
• be a registered charity or recognised not-for-profit organisation
• undertake significant activities relating to domestic and family violence prevention, education, intervention or support
• align with the values and mission of Run Against Violence
• satisfy any eligibility checks required by RAV
All nominated organisations are subject to approval by Run Against Violence.
Are there reporting requirements for the receiving organisation?
Yes. The receiving organisation will need to show evidence that the donation was invested into a DFV prevention initiative. We will also ask for a short questionnaire to be completed, and where appropriate, videos or photos provided for sharing with the Run Against Violence community.
When will the donation be paid?
Donations will be paid following completion of the event and verification process, with payments expected to occur during September and October 2026.
Can we split the donation between multiple organisations?
No. Each winning team may nominate one eligible organisation only for each donation awarded.
Do we receive the prize money directly?
No. The Chase It Forward Fund is designed to support communities and prevention initiatives. Winning teams direct where the donation goes, but funds are paid directly by Run Against Violence to the approved recipient organisation.
What happens if we don’t nominate an organisation?
Winning teams have 14 days after notification to nominate an eligible Australian charity or not-for-profit organisation. If no organisation is nominated within that timeframe, the donation will be directed to NAPCAN’s LoveBites program.
