There are several small actions we can take to reach out and impact the lives of families in need. We are trying our best to move to our goal; of improving the living environment for families in developing countries. Much however remains to be done; we need your help with fundraising to help support our cause.
If your school, community group, or company is looking for a meaningful project, the sky is the limit! Remember that all actions however big or small have a tremendous impact. Whether young or old, a large company or a small community group, there are countless small ways to helping people in need, every penny counts. You can make a donation, do a fundraiser or provide a corporate matching gift.
Monetary Donations:
Financial donations are the best way to help us. To invest in the future of these single parent families, we need to first provide them with their basic needs to survive.
Corporate Match:
You may be able to multiply your donation. Many companies will match their employees' charitable donations. Many employers sponsor corporate matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions that their employees make.
The BEST fundraising is also FUN-Raising! We all need to make a difference in the world. Why not enjoy ourselves in the process. Below are a few ideas to help us with fundraising:
House Fundraising Events:
You can host your own event in your home. We will help create printing materials for you to distribute (brochures or flyers etc) to market the event in your home for your friends and family. Depending where your location is, we can help fund your event through our sponsors. For information for ideas to create your own “Give the Needy” fundraiser please contact us.
Give the Needy Walk:
The "Walk" is a fundraiser and is a great day of exercise, food, entertainment, and family fun. Walks can be held in your community where you live. Please email us of your interest and give us the exact location where you want to volunteer for the "Walk" event. We will help create printing materials for you to distribute (posters and flyers etc) to market the event in your community. Depending on where your location is, we can help fund your event through our sponsors with: course monitoring, food serving, kid’s corner, etc.
Give the Needy Silent Auctions:
Silent auctions are an ideal additional fundraiser to run in conjunction with another event, i.e. trivia night, school fete, company party etc., the possibilities are endless. Silent auctions operate throughout the evening and do not interfere with the evening the way a public auction can. Please email us of your interest
Chocolates Drives:
Chocolate drives have always been a very popular fundraiser.
Raffles
You can run a professional raffle with exciting prizes; which we can help provide through our sponsors.
There are several more innovative ways to help. Please email us of your interest to get involved.
Please ask us how to become a volunteer and also receive “Certificate of Appreciation” from GNF for your contributions for social work.
