Support the Legacy Fund, have Fun and Find a Bargain at the Same Time

2011 DirectorsFriendship Force’s Legacy Fund was created to provide funds to start new clubs, promote new types of exchanges and to expand the number of ambassadors.  It is supported by donations from clubs and individuals.

After a great start last year in Washington,the Friendship Force Board members are again organizing this auction again to raise funds to expand the outreach of Friendship Force. Bidders have already been saying how much fun they had and how great the home-stays were. The auction offers an opportunity for members with assets and talents to support the Legacy Fund and with the added thrill of finding a bargain. 

There will be one major difference from last year. In Washington we found it impossible to give our on-line bidders an equal chance to win against the frenzy of bidders at the World Conference Dinner.This year there will be two separate sections. The Hamburg Section will close in Hamburg on Sunday August 28, 2011. The World Friendship Day Section will close on World Friendship Day on March 31, 2012.

The auction is organized by the FFI Board of Directors who volunteer their time and effort.  Apart from the software licence, no money is paid to professional fund raisers.  Clubs wishing to raise funds for local development have an opportunity to share in the results. (See the information about this on the Auction Rules page).

 

 

Here's How it Works

George BrownIndividuals or clubs decide what they can offer for the auction. Last year we received offers of home-stays, the use of vacation properties, tickets to events and access to time-shares, but we can think of many other things. As a practical reality related to shipping, duties and taxes, we regret that we cannot accept physical items for sale. For more information on how to submit your offer see the page "More about offering an item for sale"

There is no deadline for offers but the earlier we receive them the better. Obviously we will stop accepting offers just before the auction closes but keep watching for new items.

Want to bid on something which is not listed? Send an email to iax@magma.ca and ask. Perhaps we can find a donor!

When offers are received,  the FFI board members review them and set minimum and reserve bids based on your input.  Selection will ensure that we do not have too many similar items in the one city or region. 

Details of the bidding procedure are on the "More on Bidding " page.  Everyone can participate in the bidding, either in person in Hamburg or through this internet site. To bid you must first register as a bidder. This saves you from having to type in your information each time you bid. Income tax receipts will be provided when requested (see section in"Auction Rules" page).
