This year&#8217;s #Blessings campaign will&#13;<br \/>\nexpand its reach to bring greater awareness to the public to support local&#13;<br \/>\ncommunities in need. From now to December 31, interested donors can log on to&#13;<br \/>\nCarousell and browse listings from over 20 charities and non-profit&#13;<br \/>\norganisations, and give back to those who need it the most by donating&#13;<br \/>\nessential items such as home appliances, Covid-19 test kits, clothes and food,&#13;<br \/>\nor even make direct donations to their favourite causes via Carousell&#13;<br \/>\nProtection. Users can also list their usable items on Carousell under its Free&#13;<br \/>\nItems category to help other individuals in need.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The #Blessings campaign is the missing link for charity drives&#13;<br \/>\nin Singapore to reach out to Singaporeans with ready intent to give away items.&#13;<br \/>\n#Blessings originally started as a user-led initiative, and has grown into one&#13;<br \/>\nadopted by our wider Carousell community over the years. With every 1 in 3&#13;<br \/>\nSingaporeans using Carousell monthly, we are the perfect platform to connect&#13;<br \/>\ncharities with users who are looking to declutter their surplus purchases by&#13;<br \/>\ngiving back to those who need them the most. We are excited to partner with&#13;<br \/>\nNVPC for SG Cares Giving Week and we encourage every donor to give generously&#13;<br \/>\nand make a positive difference this festive season.&#8221; said Ng Chee Soon,&#13;<br \/>\nManaging Director, Carousell Singapore. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are pleased to&#13;<br \/>\npartner Carousell once again in this meaningful campaign. Carousell offers a&#13;<br \/>\nunique way for non-profit organisations like the Singapore Red Cross to garner&#13;<br \/>\nboth monetary and in-kind donations via a single platform. The publicity&#13;<br \/>\nsupport given is also invaluable to our outreach efforts. We are hopeful that&#13;<br \/>\nthis partnership with Carousell would help us to enhance our online presence&#13;<br \/>\nand reach a younger, more technologically-savvy audience; and in turn boost our&#13;<br \/>\nfundraising efforts. We look forward to nurturing an enduring partnership with&#13;<br \/>\nCarousell,&#8221; said Mr Benjamin William, Secretary General and CEO, Singapore&#13;<br \/>\nRed Cross.<\/p>\n<p>This campaign is an expansion of Carousell&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/press.carousell.com\/2021\/08\/17\/carousell-empowers-local-non-profit-organisations-to-fundraise-by-digitalising-their-causes\/\">#SayYesToBlessings<\/a> initiative, launched in&#13;<br \/>\nAugust 2021 to help empower non-profit organisations in digitalising and&#13;<br \/>\namplifying their causes online. Participating charities received a&#13;<br \/>\ncomplimentary CarouBiz Charities Package worth over $1,500 that includes a&#13;<br \/>\nsuite of premium promotional tools designed to help. Through this initiative, donors&#13;<br \/>\nwill also be able to make direct donations to these organisations, with 100% of&#13;<br \/>\nthe donation going directly to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since the pandemic started, charities have been unable to organise&#13;<br \/>\ntraditional fundraising events and engage with potential donors. To help&#13;<br \/>\ncounter this challenge, Carousell is bringing back its <a href=\"https:\/\/press.carousell.com\/2020\/04\/16\/carousell-commits-to-donate-sgd-2-million-worth-of-ad-inventory-to-support-non-profit-organisations\/\">Free Ads for Charities<\/a> initiative, and will&#13;<br \/>\noffer up to a quarter of million dollars in an advertising support programme to&#13;<br \/>\nsupport charities impacted by Covid-19. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This $250,000 fund will focus on supporting any charities and&#13;<br \/>\nnon-profit organisations in Singapore and their efforts to replenish supply of&#13;<br \/>\nessential items, donations for upkeep cost, call for volunteers and other&#13;<br \/>\ninitiatives caring for vulnerable communities. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are very proud to bring back our Free Ads for Charities&#13;<br \/>\ninitiative and expand upon our commitment to uplift local communities in need.&#13;<br \/>\nCharity donations have been impacted as fundraising events have had to be&#13;<br \/>\ncancelled due to restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic. With 1 in 3&#13;<br \/>\nSingaporeans on our platform every month, we can help amplify their causes and&#13;<br \/>\ngive these charities more visibility on the road to recovery,&#8221; said JJ&#13;<br \/>\nEastwood, Managing Director, Carousell Media Group. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These two campaigns are the latest in Carousell&#8217;s initiatives to&#13;<br \/>\nsupport and empower communities during the COVID-19 situation, other&#13;<br \/>\ninitiatives include<a href=\"https:\/\/press.carousell.com\/2020\/04\/16\/carousell-commits-to-donate-sgd-2-million-worth-of-ad-inventory-to-support-non-profit-organisations\/\"> <\/a>#MADEinSG&#13;<br \/>\nto support the local art scene amid the circuit breaker period.
