Our activities include supporting and creating fundraising events, engaging with community groups and corporate clients, and providing one-on-one stewardship to donors. We aim to spread awareness of our mission and inspire community action. Currently, the team is reviewing how to enhance supporter engagement and make their journey with us more meaningful.
