The TUKOLE Donation Guide
We do not believe in reactive fundraising. Nothing is a substitute for thoughtful planning. We take some time to think about the funding model and the total cost of a project before embarking on the fundraising drive. That way, we always collect the funds needed before hand for better accountability.
TUKOLE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT GUIDELINES
Corporate philanthropy has a long history: all the biggest multinationals in the world have causes they have supported with big bucks. But, these days, the idea of a simply donating money to a charity or cause, though still a meaningful cause, is outdated. Instead, businesses now try to make an impact in areas that are more relevant to what they do and align with their values. This is where Tukole comes in.
The TUKOLE BUSINESS NETWORK?
The main goal for the TBN is to promote each other with the idea that these collective actions will raise the proverbial economic tide for all those that participate. We are duty bound to collaborate at all times over competing.
