Send a Cow wins Fundarising Award

Send a Cow is delighted to have been bestowed the ‘Best Use of Face to Face’ award at the Institute of Fundraising’s National Awards on Monday 5th July 2010. The Institute, whose ceremony was held at the Hilton London Metropole in London, received a record number of nominations this year and so we are honoured to be recognised in this fashion.

With the help of Home Fundraising, Send a Cow launched its door-to-door fundraising campaign in 2009, to tell people all about the life-changing work of Send a Cow with African families and how they can get involved. An amazing number of people signed up to the Family Friend scheme which allows you to follow a family’s journey out of poverty. For just £10 a month, a Family Friend supporter has the chance to see exactly how their money helps to transform lives for poor African families by following one family as they begin their journey out of poverty

The Institute of Fundraising was particularly impressed by the campaign and the amazing results Send a Cow and Home were able to achieve as nearly 770 people signed up to make a regular donation and be a Family Friend. We look forward to continued success!
