For more than 25 years, the Bunnings sausage sizzle has provided grassroots community groups a simple way to raise funds to continue their important work in our communities.
Not-for-profit organisations are able to book a sizzle with their local store - they need to bring volunteers and adequate supplies and Bunnings helps with the rest.
100% of funds raised go to your community group.
Organising a Bunnings sausage sizzle is easy – BYO volunteers and necessary products and we’ll help look after the rest. Simply fill out our online form to submit your enquiry to your local ‘Activities Organiser’. Conditions apply.
How do I apply for a sausage sizzle?
Simply fill out our online form to submit your enquiry to your community group’s local store’s ‘Activities Organiser’.
The ‘Activities Organiser’ local to your community group will then be in contact to discuss the next steps. This will include what the funds will be used for (e.g., upgrading facilities, purchasing equipment) and any other required documentation.
Who can apply?
Bunnings receives many requests for support, and in order to consider these worthwhile requests fairly and objectively we have developed a broad framework covering our community involvement activities.
In line with this framework, our priority is to work directly with not-for- profit community groups and charities. This allows our stores to fully participate in the communities in which they operate by providing meaningful assistance to their local community.
We strive to work with organisations that share the Bunnings values and reserve the right to decline activities with organisations that don’t align.
All funds raised continue to go directly to the community group running the BBQ.
Free mobile payment option
Bunnings now offers a free mobile payment option. Be sure to ask your store Activities Organiser about this option once your application has been approved.
