“If many little people in many little places do many little deeds, they can change the face of the earth." Fundraising ideas work according to the principle of this African proverb: “Small donations with large effect.”
How many invoices do you send out in a year? Very often, the quantity could be quite high. Just imagine if all your customers were to give a small amount additionally as a donation in favor of SOS Children’s Villages additional to every invoice they receive!
How can this work? First of all, on the principle of voluntary participation. For instance, you could mention your commitment to SOS Children’s Villages in a short paragraph on your online or printed invoice, with a request to customers for a small donation. Should a customer decide to donate, this can then be actively confirmed in such ways as: online by ticking a box, or offline by a signature. In general, the smaller the amount requested, the larger the willingness to participate.
