Today’s suggestion for how to
support the A21 Campaign is to incorporate
the corporate!
Many companies are now partnering
with nonprofit organisations for seasonal moments of giving back. If you work
in the corporate world (or know someone who does), ask if A21 could be
considered as part of the contenders for a partnership program, matching funds
or a sponsored charity. This also usually works best if you have a basic plan
in place for how you intend to raise the funds (often companies only match
funds raised, not funds donated, so you need a way of raising money).
A friend of mine (Becs) works for
Barclays, who have previously very generously matched the money she has been
part of raising for charity. One of the ways she has done this fundraising was
to sell Krispy Kreme doughnuts to raise money and then asked Barclays to match
it, which they generously did! We also already have something in the pipeline
to support the A21 Campaign’s fight against human trafficking in 2013.
The Polaris Project have a peer
to peer fundraising site
(US) and a site that I have used previously for fundraising in JustGiving.
We all have some corporate
friends/contacts and it is well worth contacting as many as can lend their
influence in the corporate world to the fight against trafficking, so get
networking!
Blessings!
