Fundraise for DOGO
Useful context before you start: in Nigeria a treatment costs about £3. So a fundraiser that raises £300 is not an abstract contribution. It is approximately one hundred people treated.
Complete a sports event
A charity cycle, a marathon, a swim. Set up a fundraising page and share it. It works because the people who sponsor you are giving to you, not to a charity they have never heard of, and the trust transfers.
Fundraise where you work
A bake sale, a charity auction, a donation box, a matched giving scheme if your employer runs one. Workplace fundraising has an advantage worth exploiting: you can explain the model in person. "Three pounds treats somebody completely, and you find out their name" is a sentence that works much better spoken than written.
Run a donation stand
Volunteer to run a stand at a community event, a shopping centre or outside a venue. Talk to people, explain what DOGO does, and take donations.
What we provide: we will help you set everything up, give you all the collateral you need, and send you a DOGO t-shirt.
Fundraise online
Run a crowdfunding campaign, for instance to help launch a new stand or a new region. We will give you the information you need and practical guidance on running a campaign that actually converts rather than one that quietly stalls at 12%.
Two things that make DOGO fundraising easier than most
- The unit is tiny and concrete. Most charity asks are abstract. Ours is "three pounds treats one person, completely." People can picture that.
- There is a receipt. You can tell the people who sponsored you that the money reached named individuals, with an itemised bill. Very few fundraisers can say that.
Get started
Write to info@dogoapp.org and tell us what you are planning. We will send you what you need.
Give someone a treatment
Set up a £5 monthly donation and we will show you exactly who it treated. In Nigeria, £5 covers one person's entire treatment, usually with change.
Three ways to give, all working right now:
- Donate on WhatsApp. The quickest route. Message us and we will set it up inside the chat. No app to install, no forms, no password.
- Dogo Health on the App Store, or on Google Play. Set your amount once and you are matched with a new person automatically each month.
Monthly from £5, one-off from £10. Cancel any time from the app. Questions first? Write to info@dogoapp.org.
