Since the last 10 years we are having our own fundraising department.
At present we have the following fund raising activities:
Donation Boxes
The Deepalaya Donation Boxes are one way of increasing the visibility of the organization besides helping in fund-raising. These boxes were first put in the market in 1994. At present there are more than 600 boxes out in the field. They face stiff competition from other Donation Boxes of relatively more well-known Charities like Help-Age, Cancer Society, Red Cross etc.
One way in which volunteers could help-out in this project is by getting our boxes placed in good outlets. They can also help in the monitoring of these boxes. People who are in the plastics business or alike can volunteer their services in improving the look of these boxes or get them repaired whenever the need arises.
Direct Mailing
Direct Mail comprises of information designed to increase awareness among the populace about Deepalaya and its activities and encourage people receiving these to donate to the cause. They are sent at regular intervals as Warm Mails to those donors who have already been supporting Deepalaya and as Cold Mails to those who are targeted as potential donors. Work related to Direct Mail usually goes round the years.
Volunteers can help in the packing of the Direct Mail materials. They can also help in the distribution. And of course voluntary service in terms of printing these, providing creative inputs or providing materials like paper etc. are welcome anytime!!
Greeting Cards
The Deepalaya Greeting Cards Project was started in 1998 and since 2000 it has been launched in partnership with Charms Cards.
These cards are one of the ways to raise funds for the organization and they are usually put on display and sale around the festive seasons, at various avenues. The designs for them are resourced from famous contemporary artists.
Volunteer support in this project can be obtained in the form of marketeers who are willing to try and sell as many cards as possible. Also, people are needed to manage the card-stalls which are put up. Good artists could even help by donating some of their designs for these cards.
