Face-to-face Fundraising
Blind Low Vision NZ are working with a professional marketing organisation to visit members of the public at their homes to give them the opportunity to become Puppy Sponsors.
Why are we doing this?
It takes more than two years to breed and train a Blind Low Vision NZ Guide Dog, and so the regular support of Puppy Sponsors is essential to support these amazing wee puppies through their training. Face to face fundraising enables us to talk to thousands of New Zealanders about guide dogs and the difference these puppies will one day make for Kiwis who are blind or have low vision.
Blind Low Vision NZ is a member of the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association (PFRA). The PFRA works with charities to ensure quality, integrity and transparency in face to face fundraising by creating an atmosphere of public confidence and regulatory satisfaction.
Our face to face fundraising partners are Aida.
Legitimate Blind Low Vision NZ face-to-face fundraisers will
- Be wearing an official orange vest displaying the Blind Low Vision NZ logo.
- Be displaying an identification badge with their name, photo and identification number.
- Never ask for or accept a cash donation
- Be carrying up-to-date Blind Low Vision NZ Guide Dogs literature and an iPad.
We are constantly looking at ways to reduce costs and to improve the performance of our fundraising efforts. Using iPads lowers the cost of administration; eliminates errors that could mean we can’t process your donation or contact you about it, and it is extremely secure. For example, personal information and donation details (e.g. credit card details) are instantly encrypted using bank-grade encryption.
