Support our work

At Zodongo, we are committed to passing on almost all the donations we receive to our local partners, while keeping our operating costs in Switzerland to a minimum. There are several ways you can help us achieve our goals:

1.

Donate

As one of Zodongo’s objectives is to ensure that our partners can continue to cover certain expenses, permanent donations, even modest ones, are encouraged.

2.

Become a Member

Become a member of our association, Zodongo Suisse, and participate in our General Assembly.

3.

Volunteer

If you have some spare time and energy and you wish to support our efforts, please get in touch with us.

Donate

As one of Zodongo’s objectives is to ensure that our partners cover certain recurring expenses on a long-term basis, we encourage ongoing donations, even if they are modest. This enables our partners to know roughly how much they can count on, making their strategic planning easier.

 

If you wish to support one of Zodongo’s partner organisations in particular, it is important to indicate in the payment details for which organisation the donation is being made. Donations received without any other details will be divided equally between the partner organisations.

All donations made to Zodongo Suisse are tax-deductible. Each donation receives an annual certificate at the beginning of the year detailing the donations made during the previous year.

How to Donate

Donations should be made directly to the Zodongo account, mentioning the local partner for whom they are intended if you wish to support a particular partner. There are two ways of doing this at no cost to us:

  1. Transfer an amount of your choice, whether permanent or not, to the following account:
    Association Zodongo Suisse, Route de la Cime de l’Est 7, 1891 Vérossaz
    IBAN : CH 96 8080 8004 0595 8475 8
  2. Scan the QR code below with a banking application, then enter the desired amount and choose to make a permanent or one-time donation:

Become a Member of Association Zodongo Suisse

For an annual fee of CHF 50, active members have the right to vote at the General Assembly, and the opportunity to express their views on the organisation’s strategy. It’s also a way of supporting us over the long term.

At Zodongo, we’re always interested in outside opinions, so we warmly welcome our new members.

Membership fees are not tax-deductible.

Utilisation des dons

Zodongo entretient des contacts réguliers avec ses partenaires locaux. En fonction des montants obtenus dans le cadre de notre recherche de fonds, nous leur garantissons des versements réguliers minimums. Nos partenaires nous informent à l’avance sur l’usage prévu des dons, tout en leur laissant un maximum de liberté dans l’idée de leur offrir la flexibilité qui leur manque. Des accords écrits définissent les contours de la collaboration et nos partenaires nous communiquent régulièrement sur leurs activités, la confiance restant au cœur de nos relations. Dans la limite du bon sens, nous les laissons libres de constituer des fonds propres.

Nous mettons un point d’honneur à minimiser au maximum nos dépenses en Suisse. Le comité travaille entièrement bénévolement et nous tâchons d’éviter l’emploi d’outils coûteux dans la gestion de l’organisation. De cette manière, la quasi-totalité des dons versés à Zodongo sont redistribués à nos partenaires locaux.

Zodongo informe ses donateurs deux fois par année sur l’usage des fonds et les activités des partenaires soutenues via sa newsletter, en plus des informations régulièrement postées sur nos réseaux sociaux.
