Other ideas:

Charitable trusts and foundations

Make a grant to Red Cross Refugee Services or one of our projects. Is there a particular part of what we do that inspires you? Our volunteer programme? Our refugee caseworkers? Keeping new families warm in the winter? We would be more than happy to work with you on finding the perfect fit between your mission and our work.

Corporations

  • Encourage payroll giving amongst your staff.
  • Invite a Red Cross Refugee Services speaker to share what we do with your employees and take up a collection.
  • Make a tax-deductible donation towards our work.
  • Sponsor one of our events, projects or public awareness campaign.

Faith groups and churches

  • Organise a bake sale or other fundraising event to benefit our work with refugees in New Zealand.
  • Hold a collection (furniture, in-kind goods, financial contributions, etc.) in aid of our work.
  • Get your youth programmes involved with supporting former refugees.

Schools and youth groups

Discuss refugee issues in the classroom and encourage the students to organise an event such as a bake sale or 'mufti day' to raise money for our work.

Service groups

  • Inform your members about our work by inviting a speaker from Red Cross Refugee Services to one of your meetings and hold a collection.
  • If you are a group of crafters or have special skills, consider doing a project to benefit former refugees or donating your skills.
  • Hold a furniture drive or a function like a coffee morning in aid of refugees supported by the agency.
