Inclusive Fundraising: Providing Avenues for Shy Givers

We will introduce what does Social Enterprise means for YCAB and share our fundraising strategy. Having been around for almost two decades, we realize that while there are plenty of supporters to a good cause, they might differ in their giving habits and preference. As we aim to reach and convert more and more people to become an #ExtensionOfGoodness, we created different vehicles for different giving style. We’ll share about our impact investment vehicles for those still wanting to obtain some financial return and a social investment vehicle for those expecting their principal back. We also innovate our philanthropy programs, by collaborating and creating interesting campaigns. One of which was when we pedal 2,601 km through Indonesia, with Scott Thompson, and raise US$ 525,000 for underprivileged children.
