the CDS Vic charity app functionality offers a unique level of transparency, allowing CDS Vic West App users to see where the funds are being allocated to, learn more about your organisation. The “live status” feature shows “in real time” the amount raised, keeping both your organisation and the donors up-to-date with your fundraising campaign. Finally, the app can provide tax deductible receipts directly to donors, helping save precious time for charities with Deductible Gift Recipients (DGR) status.
Community Fundraising Bottle and Can Drives
A wide range of community groups proactively engages their volunteers and supporters to collect as many drink containers as possible, returning cans and bottles to their local machines or refund points to cash in the refunds.
Your group can use the scheme to help the environment and reduce litter in your local community by placing can and bottle donation bins or large donation bags at schools, swimming pools, sports clubs, or caravan parks. The collected cans and bottles can then returned to a collection point, with the resulting funds channelled back into important community programs, such as disaster relief programs, in-school initiatives, and a wide range of other vital local initiatives that are making a difference to the lives of many members in our community.
As the network operator in the West Zone, TOMRA Cleanaway is a key first point of contact for organisations willing to increase their level of involvement with the scheme. We can help your community group gain access to the scheme’s key information, collection bags and scheme branded signage. We also share PR and marketing tips on how best to engage with your supporters and audiences.
