What is GlobalGiving?
• GlobalGiving is a Non-Profit Organization
that lets people start organizations and
programs that help all over the world. We
are supporting Karmirhath, a program that
helps the third world country Bangladesh.
• The program provides eye surgery,
medication, and wheelchairs to the blind,
immobile and sick people in different
districts
Who does it benefit?
Kamirhath benefits poor villagers in
Bangladesh who need eye surgery and/or
wheelchairs. They also provide
medications for the ill.
Organization of our project
• Organized several
bake sales in order to
raise money for
Kamirhath
• Goal was to raise
$250
• Location and good
food were important
factors for our
success
Karmirhath’s Donation Values
• $10 gives free
medicine plus free
tests
• $30 grants a
patient a free Intra
Ocular Lens
• $40 screens 50
cataract patients
• $70 provides a
patient with free
surgery, Intra
Ocular Lens, plus
free medicines
Location
• Grocery stores, our first choice, denied our
request, due to the fact that we would
compete with their business
• Local parks did not comprise of enough
customers to have a profitable sale
• The best choice was school
Advertisement
• Because school was our location of
choice, flyers would not needed
• Advertisement was by the main office
announcing it during RAD
• Bulletins provided by the main office were
also used for advertisement
Foods
• Tasty foods that customers would enjoy
were made. Sugary snacks and beverages
were sold
• Cookies, Brownies, Cupcakes, Snicker
doodles, Gatorade, and Soda were sold
How do we get all the food?
• With the large variety of food, we needed a way to split up the task
of making and buying the food and ingredients
• We decided to distribute the duty of making the assortment of baked
goods into divisions
• We also decided to make all of our goods instead of purchasing
them
1st Bake Sale
• Our first bake sale
was mostly a test to
see how much
money we could
raise
• All goods were sold
for a fairly
inexpensive price,
ranging from 25
cents to 1 dollar
• The low prices
attracted little
revenue, but several
customers that would
continue to show
support for our cause
2nd Bake Sale
• Our second bake sale
produced more
income because we
raised the prices by a
noticeable amount
• Prices ranged from
50 cents to $1.25
• Customers from the
previous bake sale
welcomed our return
• This bake sale
produced the most
profit
3rd Bake Sale
• Our prices were identical to the previous bake
sale
• Only few of the previous costumers returned,
due to the Reno Jazz Festival trip that
unfortunately departed on the same day
• Was still a rousing success and profits were
abundant
Goals Reached
• Our Goal was to
make $250, which
was successfully
done
• Our first bake sale
raised about $70
• The second time we
gained about $130
• Our last bake sale
achieved about $100
• This totaled our
donations to $300
Conclusion
• The project was a great experience
• Small task created big impact
• Learned the true meaning of what it mean
to give back
