As someone who founded an environmental NGO and constantly had to prove the ROI of programmes funded by donations, I know how important it is to conserve cash in order to spend it on front-line mission-critical activities. Thus, I wanted to tell you about Globechain, a B2B reuse platform which gives charities and non-profits access to thousands of FREE valuable items donated by major corporations like Nando's, Arcadia, the NHS, etc. Basically, corporate donors list items they'd like to donate, i.e., office equipment and furniture, retail fixtures and store fittings, construction materials, medical equipment and domestic items, and charities can get them for free provided they can pick them up from the donor. In order to take advantage of the platform, all you have to do is register with your charity number and then make a request on the platform. Then, just like Airbnb, the platform lets you communicate directly with the donor to figure out the time and place of pick-up, etc. If you don't find what you're looking for immediately, you can sign up for a custom alert and the system will email you when the item you're looking for has been donated and is live on the system. The website is www.globechain.co.uk. I posted this in the fundraising group because, naturally, logically, those of you seeking to raise funds for your charity most likely also want to save money too! I hope this helps!
