GumGum Gives: Q4 2024 Quarterly Cause ❤️
Hey GG!
We’re now officially in the festive holiday season and on this Giving Tuesday, the VOICE Coalitions are launching our global Q4 Quarterly Cause! In November, our teams in LA and NY put together kits for foster youth ahead of National Adoption Day in the United States and last year, our team in Sydney packed kits for Indigenous youth. To continue this work, this Q4’s Quarterly Cause is Child Health, Welfare, and Happiness.
This is a global effort to raise funds and we’ve researched some organizations in our main regions to donate to. You can find all the orgs HERE but please donate to any nonprofit organization of your choice that is focused and rooted in child welfare, health, and or happiness.
Since we launched our Quarterly Causes in Q1 2021, we’ve raised over $55,000 together, with 415 donations supporting 117 different organizations. This would not be possible without all of your participation and the VOICE is so grateful for all the support over the years.
Let’s make this our biggest Quarterly Cause fundraising effort to date! As a treat, we’re continuing our Holiday Raffle to raise as much money as possible and each $15 USD donation equals 1 raffle entry.
Our prizes for each region (to be used in the 2025 calendar year) are:
In North America: a weekend at Phil’s beautiful Palm Springs Oasis
In EMEA: a night out on the town with Pete
In JAPAC: a boat ride and/or secret harbour beach picnic with Rob in Sydney OR a sports match of your choice at Allianz Stadium in Sydney and dinner with Sorrel
Different this year is that if you prove with a photo or email confirmation that you volunteered this month, that counts as THREE raffle ticket entries in lieu of donating money. Donating time and expertise is just as important as donating money and is a great excuse to use our Volunteer Time Off (VTO)!
Quick facts on how to get involved in the Quarterly Cause:
This Quarterly Cause launches today, December 3, and goes through January 3. Please submit donation receipts HERE by January 3 to be included in the raffle and have your donation matched by GumGum.
Winners will be announced on Slack on Monday, January 6.
Anyone can choose to participate or not participate in the raffles (you will have the option to select a box in the form to have your name added to the raffles for your region).
Every $15 USD donation you make will earn you one raffle ticket.
Each additional $15 USD donation will earn you an additional ticket, increasing your chance to win the prize for your region!
If you volunteer for three hours and submit proof in the above donation form, you will receive three raffle entries for your region’s raffle item.
Not interested in the raffle but still want to make an impact?
Donate money towards one of the charities listed or a child welfare charity or organization of your choice.
Once you've donated, hop back into this form and attach a screenshot of your donation receipt to the bottom of this form under 'Attach your donation receipt (or volunteer proof) here!' to let us know where to match your donation!
GumGum will match ALL raffle & non-raffle donations up to $6,000 USD made through January 3rd. We will announce the winner of the raffles on Slack on Monday, January 6!
But wait, there’s more! In Australia, our team will be packing kits again for the Indigenous kids group Redfern Youth Connect and collecting holiday gifts for Redfern, and the team in London will be setting up a toy donation drive in the office to supplement this Quarterly Cause.
Please spread the word and make a difference!
Encourage your colleagues, friends, and family to join in the festive spirit by donating to the organizations we’re fundraising for or for other causes they are passionate about.
Donate not just your money but your time, if you can! Volunteers are needed year-round, and the holiday season is the perfect time to give back to our communities. Plus, we have Volunteer Time Off!
Let’s create a ripple effect of kindness and compassion.
Thanks so much for your generosity and commitment to making a difference. Have questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out.
In solidarity and in the spirit of giving,
The VOICE Coalitions (NA, EMEA, and JAPAC)
