Fundraising
Apart from the funds that we raise through campaigns and fund-raising events, our goals are supported by the business community and individual donors. “Together for Children” is an accountable Association, following the policy to use only up to 10% of its annual budget for administrative costs. The Association’s goals are supported by the business community, independent foundations and individual donors in Greece and abroad, as well as through fundraising campaigns and events.
Many renown institutions and companies have shown trust in “Together for Children”, such as The Hellenic Initiative, Stavros Niarchos Foundation, Radcliffe Foundation and TOMS, the American shoe company, being some of its major international donors.
The funds raised from all our activities are distributed equally to our members. Furthermore, voluntary work contributes to the success of our activities and events, as well as to the promotion of our goals.
