The Match Program is our way of empowering our Wellness Advocates by supporting your philanthropic efforts in our community
The Match Program is more than just a fundraiser. It’s a program that encompasses the process of developing, implementing and then following up on a Service Project in our community. The best part? We’ll match the funds you raise while participating in the program!
Prior to our dōTERRA 2024 Leadership Retreat, we welcomed our local Australian and New Zealand Wellness Advocate community to take part in a leader-driven match program to raise funds for our charity partner Friends with Dignity and the vital work they do helping people impacted by domestic and family violence through their Sanctuary Program
The Sanctuary Program helps transform houses into homes for people who have escaped domestic violence so they can start their new journeys with dignity and free from abuse.

Case Study
Wellness Advocate Bronwyn Ball says she has been helping to “change the world one hair at a time” through her support of Hair Aid Inc.
Hair Aid travel to developing countries and teach people living in poverty, the skill of hair cutting. Trainees then use the skills learnt to start their own micro business, cutting hair in their own communities and earning money to support their families to buy fresh water and food, educate their children, and move into housing.
Bron fundraised and volunteered her time to travel to the Philippines in September 2023 to train 100 students, helping bring hope to those in need. The oldest graduate on the program was 80 years old and her driver for learning hair cutting was to be able to cut her grandchildren’s hair, as children who cannot afford haircuts are often not allowed to attend school.
As well as fundraising the project costs to participate, plus paying her own way and taking time out of her busy business, Bron also donated doTERRA products to the project.
Bron said “I have spent countless hours on this project and it’s a lot of time well spent as I could see the benefits of what we do. I encourage other Wellness Advocates to get involved in these projects”.
