THE CONCEPT OF THE EVENT

It is a fundraising event which gives participants the chance of making clever donations, more precisely they find out the story from the beneficiaries directly, understanding the impact of the donation, and follow the project up, being afterwards updated through the Donor's Newsletter.

In Brasov, The Brasov Community Foundation together with the group of ambassadors of the Donors' Circle has already organised 10 editions of the Donors' Circle, in which, more than 810 donors supported 27 local projects with funds of LEI 315,492.

How does the magic work?

• 3 participating projects as a result of the selection made within the assessment process of the projects which applied in the closed call for community projects.
• 15 minutes for presentations. During the 2-hour event, the projects are given 5 minutes each in order to convince the audience to provide the needed funding and support.
• The auction is the moment that participants publicly announce their donations.

You are invited to enter the atmosphere of the event by watching the videos of the previous editions .

For the 10th edition of April 2022 we were able to gather in the same space again and managed to keep the emotion at the same intensity, the interaction between the presenter and the audience was as vivid as always, having brought energy and copious laughters.

The Maths of the philanthropic involvement meant: 79 individual donors and 29 small and middle-sized companies supported with LEI 72,927 3 local projects, having as beneficiaries: 204 children and adults:

• "Let"s play again" - Ajungem Mari volunteer team Tarlungeni Ajungem MARI Brasov donation budget of 20.100 lei plus donations in kind amounting to 8.500 lei representing the netting for the fencing of the field and the assembly and transport expenses from two corporate donors. Also, in addition to the initial budget, 2 donors provided activities for children and a basketball.
• "Together for the parents of children with autism" - Albert and Zambete Association - donation budget of 21,650 lei.
• "Caravan for Women"s Health" - Caravan with Doctors - donation budget of 24.100 lei plus in kind participation of a social worker from the Association for Social Services SCUT.

* 10% of total donations was used for paying for the organisation costs of the event.

In the 11th edition, which will be held on November, 2023, we would like to collect more than LEI 40,000 for 3 local projects.

In this edition, we are mobilizing to support projects which target vulnerable communities affected by the recent global crisis, projects which will produce changes for the better and have feasible proposals for addressing the needs. Our proposal for you is to support projects which bring solutions for problems connected with mental health, anti-bullying education and other challenges of emotional and psychological nature enhanced or triggered by the many challenges faced in recent years.
