Donate an Hour
2009/2010 Donate an Hour Campaign
Donate an Hour aims to have participants donate one billable hour’s equivalent to the cause at hand.
This billable hour may be from companies or individuals .
In 2009, we chose to support the Elderly.
The 2009/2010 campaign aimed to raise funds for an Old age Home to uplift the citizens and give thanks to the nursing staff.
Huis Luckhoff
Huis Luckhoff is a home for the aged, located in Rosebank, a suburb of Cape Town and provides frail care and full time nursing facilities for its citizens.
It is subsidised by the Department of Social Development (Provincial Government of the Western Cape), and as one of many government funded establishments, it is struggling to cover the costs for its citizens and nursing staff.
Donate an Hour assisted with managing the communication messaging and funds-drive through various online channels including:
- The Donate-an-Hour.org website
- A website for Huis Luckhoff
- Blogs, social networks and various participating online channels and websites
- Twitter: donateanhour
- Facebook: Donate an Hour
- Email campaign
Everyone that participated in the campaign, was credited by name, or institution on both the Donate-An-Hour.org and Huis-Luckhoff.co.za website.
Huis Luckhoff used the funds to assist with the following areas:
- General and necessary maintenance on the property
- Token of Thanks to the Nursing Staff
- Upgrade of food
Full disclosure of where funds have been used and how much was received was made public .
