Contributing to the Sustainable Community Development Fund

by PACT Foundation April 3, 2012

For helping community-based organizations, PACT Foundation is creating the Sustainable Community Development Fund. It is designed to finance community projects and start-ups of micro-businesses with social profile, as well as to provide free consultancy and training to those who initiate and implement such actions, to the benefit of local communities. The amount that PACT Foundation will gather for the Sustainable Community Development Fund will be doubled by CEE Trust (www.ceetrust.org).




















How can you contribute to the Sustainable Community Development Fund?

“Adopt a Community” - You can offer a small sponsorship of around 1,000 euro to support such a community to solve the most ardent issues of their environment: a new playground, a cultural center, a new well for the village, transportation means for children to go to school in isolated areas, etc. You can adopt their community and help them change their world.

“Back to the Roots” - PACT can organize for your company a creativity workshop where your employees will learn to master traditional crafts such as baking gingerbread figures, personalizing greeting cards, painting eggs, etc. in return for a 500 euro sponsorship. The money will also go into the fund to support more projects.

“Thank you for your donation!” - You can organize donation points in your company for the employees to contribute to the Fund. PACT will bring along the boxes and the promotional materials. You can double the employees’ donations with a sponsorship for the Fund. The employees will receive personalized thank you notes from the members of the communities where the money go.

PACT Foundation (Partnership for Community Action and Transformation www.fundatiapact.ro) is the NGO that is working in the South of the country to facilitate the sustainable development of rural communities. For community-based organizations, PACT is transferring funds and knowledge, promotes the spirit of initiative, partnership and social responsibility and actively supports the changing process.
