How can I run a birthday fundraiser for Famidi?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

Replace gifts with one clear invitation to support a current Famidi program, use an official link, and tell supporters when the fundraiser closes and what was raised.

What this means in practice

A specific program is easier to explain than a vague promise to “change lives.”

Do not collect card information or donations in a personal account.

Celebrate participation without pressuring people to disclose amounts publicly.

How community support can stay useful

Famidi encourages fundraisers, volunteers, schools, workplaces, faith communities, companies, and foundations to choose a clear program, use official payment channels, set realistic expectations, and report back when the effort ends.

A partnership should never promise field access, beneficiary exposure, tax treatment, naming rights, or results that have not been agreed and verified. Scope and reporting expectations belong in writing.
