What's the difference between an Individual and a Guild?
An Individual is a single fundraiser. A Guild is a collective of people working together to find a specific number of individuals (Patrons) to take part in the campaign. If you sign up as an Individual donor, you will be given the option to create or join a Guild. When you create a Guild, your individual profile will be created as part of the process.
How do I form a Guild?
Click on the "Start a Patron Guild" button on the homepage and fill out your name, email, choose a fundraising goal, and upload an image (optional).
How do I ask people to join my Guild?
If it's your first time fundraising, asking for donations can be daunting. But don't be nervous! Friends and family may want to support you. Explain what you're doing, share your passion for Woodfordia, and ask. We've created resources to help you email people, copy the campaign link, or send social media messages.
How do I get into my account?
To log in, click the "Login" button in the top right corner. If you’re unable to access your account, resetting your password is simple.
Go to the login page and click "Forgot your password?"
You'll receive an email with instructions to reset your password.
If you don’t see the email, check your spam or junk folder. Please allow a few minutes for it to arrive.
Can I donate for other people?
Yes, in your Dashboard. Click on the 'Make a donation' button and select 'Donate or Make a donation on behalf of family or friends'
Can I make a donation for less than $1000?
All Founding Patrons donations are a minimum of $1000. However, you can pay in instalments (choose between 4 or 10 instalments). Donations can also be made in increments of $100 or $250.
Can I donate more than $1000?
Yes, you can, you legend!
Why is my donation for one person only?
If a donation is made in multiple names, it extends our completion date into the future. This adds greater risk to the fundraising goal.
We are asking you to set an early precedent with us and donate in one person’s name per donation. We are looking for 5,700 patrons to donate $1,000 each and raise $5.7m by July 2026 to buy the land back.
With your support, and with Woodfordia held in a Foundation, we will fulfill our 500-year vision: to gift future generations a place of peace and potential, free from debt—financial, social, and environmental.
We need to take action now - while we can, before we can’t. Donations made in more than one name will be contacted by one of our passionate fundraising volunteers. You will be gently asked to select your preferred donor’s name or consider an additional donation. Apologies for this awkward conversation.
How do I donate to my own Guild?
In your dashboard, click on your guild under ‘My guilds’. Then click on the ‘Join guild’ button to add your donation.
How do I approach people to donate?
Share a personal story about why you are supporting Woodfordia. People donate because the cause matters to them, and personal connections make a big difference.
Can I share a page with my family?
Absolutely. You can create a Guild and donate on behalf of your family or invite them to make donations.
How can I get in touch with you?

What if I want to cancel my page?
If you need to cancel your page, get in touch with us, and we’ll remove it from the campaign. Email us at: aforestofgoodwill@woodfordia.com
