Which project do you want to support?
We receive two types of donations when fundraising for CALM Africa: unrestricted and restricted.
Please tell how what fund the donation is for, by email, phone or post. If we do not receive this information, then the donation will be placed in the ‘unrestricted fund’ and allocated to a CALM Africa programme by the agreement of the Trustees.
Unrestricted funds:
Donations we provide to CALM Africa that are not attached to any specific project or piece of work. This funding is our most important means of helping CALM Africa as it allows us to allocate the funding where it is most needed at any given time. This may include ensuring CALM Africa staff are paid for the crucial work that they do, any maintenance and improvements of facilities or particular Outreach work. An on-going, general fund is essential for CALM Africa to operate and heavily supported by the activities of CFU.
Restricted funds:
Project-specific donations, activities are often led by volunteers of CALM Africa. We always encourage volunteers to carry out fundraising activities for projects they have identified, provide them with advice and fundraising services. In an effort to ensure sustainable development, we advise volunteers on the viability of their project and, as far as possible, aim to support projects which are aligned with CALM Africa’s core activities and capacity.
If you’d like to discuss donations further or find out about current projects that need funding, please email fundraising@childrenfirstuganda.co.uk or call Tony Bateman on 07826055303.
