Our Finances
Keep checking back to this page to see how much money Leeds University students (and staff!) are raising for a variety of charities this year! In 2010-11, we had our most successful year ever, raising over £250,000. For a breakdown of donations from each of our events, please visit ‘Who and How We Help‘.
In addition to these donations, Leeds RAG’s Community Fund donated £7,913 to a variety of causes. In 2009-10, the Community Fund had an 80% focus on local charities to enable students to support the communities they study and live in. The Community Fund is created from a variety of our events, and the breakdown of where these came from will be available soon. For more information on where the 2009-10 donations went, or if you are a charity wishing to apply for the 2010-11 fund, please see our Community Fund pages.
Our fundraising total reflects exactly how much money we have DONATED to charity. For everyone at Leeds RAG, it is important that we are as transparent and honest about our fundraising as possible. For the majority of our events where costs need to be covered, we ask all participants to pay a cost, in addition to the fundraising they undertake. This ensures that every penny fundraised goes directly to the stated charity. For events where this is not possible, a proportion of the fundraising goes towards the cost of the event. We
aim to keep these costs as low as possible, full details of the events that must use fundraising to cover costs will be provided soon.
Our figures include all fundraising that students have undertaken through Leeds RAG. If you want to raise money for a cause close to our heart, or get involved with the many activities and charities that Leeds RAG supports, please get in contact with us or visit our get involved pages. We can offer you fundraising advice and support to make your event as successful as possible.
