CanAssist Gunnedah and Two Cats Creative have teamed up for the project, but it's a big secret as to who and what each month of the 14-month calendar will feature.
CanAssist Gunnedah president Kate Knight said the idea came about off the back of the COVID-19 as the organisation was unable to host any fundraising events.
"We needed to have a fundraiser so we thought about doing this calendar and then went to Marie [Low] to see if [Two Cats Creative] would come on board with us," she said.
"All our funds that we raise stay local."

The project also shines light on 12 local photographers, who have all volunteered their time to work on one month of the calendar and choose whichever theme or colour scheme they wish.
One half of Two Cats Creative, Marie Low, said each photographer organised their own shoot, as they wanted them to have "full creativity together with the person they're photographing".
"Each photo will be unique to each photographer," she said.
Ms Low said she was hoping the calendar would be up for sale in October.
"None of the images will be revealed until the calendar is ready. All photos will be a surprise and there is sure to be at least one face in there that everybody knows," she said.
All funds raised from calendar sales will go to CanAssist Gunnedah, which offers practical and financial support to cancer patients in Gunnedah and surrounding townships, through travel, food and fuel vouchers, pharmaceuticals and utilities payments.
