Are you raising funds to buy LLINs for a specific project or distribution?
If so, we may be able to ringfence funds so 100% of funds received via a particular
sponsorship page/s buy LLINs for a specific project.
We can do this where groups or organisations are raising funds for nets to be distributed
in a particular area as part of a project they are running or are involved in.
Advantages for you
-
100%: All of the funds we receive via your page/s go to purchase LLINs for
your distribution
-
More nets: It is unlikely your project will be able to purchase LLINs more
cost effectively than we can. We pay US$5 per net.
-
Online: You can take advantage of having somewhere to point people to donate
online. It takes you 2 minutes to create a sponsorship page.
-
Offline: Any monies raised offline, sent to us and indicated to be for the
same project, are similarly 100% ringfenced
-
Gift Aid: 100% of any Gift Aid received on your donations is also included in the total that
buys your nets.
-
Transparent: At any time you can see on your page/s the total you have raised.
No catch
-
What is the catch? There isn't one.
-
Why don't take you a cut? Why should we?
-
How do you cover your costs?
First, we have very few costs. We have designed them out. We have no office space;
we don't print brochures; we use the website as a communication mechanism etc. We
have 150+ companies that support us for free. Second, the few costs we do have are
covered by a group of private donors. As a result, the cost to you? Nothing.
Next steps
-
Contact us and let us know you'd like to raise
funds via www.AgainstMalaria.com and
have those funds ringfenced for LLINs for your project. We'll send you the two page
distribution proposal containing 17 questions which takes 15-20 minutes to fill
in.
-
You then return the distribution proposal. Our Malaria
Advisory Group assesses it. As long as it is approved, you raise funds through
us and all the nets purchased go to your project.
Why are we doing this?
If we do this, we will put hundreds of thousands or even millions of bednets over
heads and beds to help protect people.
To share our technology and infrastructure
We put in place significant technology (website and systems) and infrastructure
(banking, accounting, legal; being a registered charity in many countries etc) for
World Swim Against
Malaria. By sharing this with others, they can raise funds to buy nets and
not incur costs they might otherwise have to. This helps make the fundraising as
efficient as possible but, importantly, allows people to get going immediately on
fundraising as the website, systems and back up are all there.
