If your company would like to support the organization of the Grand Finale and help out your local Collection Centre you can donate money, goods, or services. You should get in touch with the local activists. They will be able to tell you what they find most useful – they might require your financial support, but more often than not, the volunteers would ask for your company's services.
First and foremost, a Collection Centre is an independent entity, fundraising and working in aid, but not on behalf of our charity. It means that the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation will not cover the costs incurred by the Collection Centre. We are unable to pay for items or services purchased by a Collection Centre.
To take up the organization of the Grand Finale, each Collection Centre must apply for our official permission. You can ask for the documents and registration confirmation before partnering with a Collection Centre of your choosing.
The most common way of supporting a Collection Centre is a barter exchange between the sponsor and the Collection Centre. Your company can donate goods or services or cover some costs incurred by the efforts to organize the Grand Finale fundraiser. You can, for example, shoulder the costs of transport, or provide volunteers with snacks or office supplies. Perhaps, your company provides services, which can prove to be necessary for volunteers? The best way to find out how you can play your part is to reach out to your local volunteers.
Another option, which is very popular among sponsors, is participation in our charitable auctions. Your company can donate an item or a service in aid of charitable auctions run by a Collection Centre you'd like to support. Reaching out to local volunteers is the best way to go about establishing a successful and mutually beneficial relationship between your company and the GOCC Collection Centre.
Cooperation with your local Collection Centre is the best way to not only improve your company's image and present your organization as socially aware, active, and engaged in the local community life; it's also a great way to get your brand introduced to plenty of people, who take part in the fundraiser. Local Collection Centres are often mentioned in media, working with volunteers is a sure way to get your company featured in the news and other media outlets.
Please bear in mind that you cooperate with your local Collection Centre, so please reach out to us to check if you can use our logo in your communication.
Your company can register as our "volunteer" using our online platform. The platform gives you a variety of different fundraising options, such as online collection (eCollection Box) or Stationary Collection Box, which is a cardboard Collection Box, which can be displayed on your business premises.
Basically, a Stationary Collection Box is a cardboard Collection Box which can be displayed on the premises of different businesses and companies. It must be displayed alongside a certificate, which confirms that business owners have registered the collection and that the money raised on heir premises will be donated to our charity in its entirety.
Yes, of course, but you have to register your fundraiser on our website first!
A Stationary Collection Box is a Collection Box which can be displayed on premises of a shop, business - any publicly available space, where people can donate money. It should have its guardian assigned to it instead of a volunteer responsible for the collection. A local Collection Centre takes on the responsibility of overseeing the collection.
A Stationary Collection Box Collection Centre is a form of the fundraiser which is best suited for companies which have different premises located across the country or city. Think a chain of shops, or garages, or hair salons, which are run by the same management, which oversees the collection in different locations.
Collection on business or Collection Centre premises from 15.12.2020 until the day of the Grand Finale on 10.01.2021.
You can register your Stationary Collection Box as a Stationary Collection Box by the Collection Centre or by its Guardian.
Yes, of course. You can register an online Collection Box which will be assigned to your company. Your eCollection Box can be registered to start fundraising on December 1st, 2020 and you can keep it running until the Grand Finale on 10.01.2021.
Once you register on our platform, you will be able to search for your local Collection Centre, which will oversee the collection on your business premises. You can search by the ID of the Collection Centre, or browse by location.
Once you applied to receive a Stationary Collection Box from a Collection Cente, you can follow the progress of the application online. The change of the status will be visible in the "application status" tab.
You can then run your online collection and support our objective with the entre company!
No, you must apply to a Collection Centre to receive a Stationary Box, if you want to run collection on your premises. The Collection Centre manages and oversees the entire collection in the local area, providing you with the Collection Box itself and any promotional materials you might need to run a successful fundraiser.
This method of a fundraiser is best suited for companies which want to collect funds on their premises. If you own or manage a company which has offices across the country or a shop or any other business, you might consider putting a GOCC Collection Box on your premises.
Our Collection Box and the official notice are placed on company premises, in the location which is open to the public. There are no volunteers involved in this fundraiser. Instead, a publicly available Collection Box is displayed on the premises, or in the shop. An original copy of the notice should be made available at the company head office.

First of all, - thank you! We really appreciate all initiatives which help make the day of our volunteers better! It takes a lot of effort to fundraise, especially on one of the coldest days in the year, so if you can help out, it's great!

Some of the most popular ways of supporting volunteers usually consist of providing them with warm and cold snacks and different beverages to help them keep the energy up throughout the day. If you have any other ideas or options of helping make their day better, get in touch with your local volunteers to bounce some ideas off each other.
eCollection Box is our digital version of the traditional Collection Box. Everyone can register this online fundraiser. It's a great way of taking the fundraiser into the online world.
The short answer is - anyone can register their very own eCollection Box!
If you are in touch with your local Collection Centre, and you registered your fundraiser as a Stationary Collection Box. You established your Collection Box Collection Centre; you can launch an eCollection Box as a supplementary fundraiser.
If you have not registered your Collection Centre, but still would like to fundraise online, you can register through our volunteer portal.
You can encourage your friends to donate to your company's online fundraiser. The idea behind this digital collection is translating the simplicity of donating to the cardboard Collection Box to the online experience. The link to the collection can be shared on your social media, in corporate newsletters, e-mails, websites and other communication!
Register your profile on the iWolontariusz platform and click on the "launch" button.
You will receive an email with your personalized link to your fundraiser. You will also see the progress of your collection in your account.
You don't need to do anything. All eCollection Boxes will be tallied up automatically on midnight on the day of the Grand Finale. The result of your online collection will not be added to the traditional collection result!
You can register your eCollection Box starting from December 1st, and the fundraiser will automatically end at midnight on the day of the Grand Finale fundraiser.
Come December, we launch a dedicated website, where anyone willing to take part in the auction for the Most Generous Benefactors may sign in and offer their donation. The Awards in the Most Generous Benefactors Auctions are Gold Hearts (made of the gold items donated during the previous Grand Finale) and Golden PLAY Cards. Both have become a symbol and stand for the most prestigious awards for social engagement and responsibility in the history of the GOCC Foundation. On the day of the Grand Finale in January, the bidding will be broadcast live online and on TV. The bidding is held in Polish only.

The idea behind our charitable run is to raise money to buy personal insulin pumps for pregnant women with diabetes. To date, we purchased and donated 1,892 (January 2023) personal insulin pumps. This sporting event has a long-running tradition – for 17 years, runners came together to show their support to women battling diabetes.
