2007 Gift Catalog Launched As the season of giving approaches, ADRA announces the release of the 2007 edition of its popular The Original Really Useful Gift Catalog. Published annually, the gift catalog offers readers a unique, enjoyable tool to support ADRA’s international humanitarian work, year-round. The gift catalog offers 125 giving opportunities among five of ADRA’s core portfolios: food security, emergency management, basic health care, education, and economic development. Catalog items are designed to fit budgets large and small, and are ideal for individual donations or group fundraising. For example, a young child might choose to donate her weekly allowance to provide a meal for an elderly person in Kazakhstan for only 25 cents, while a church or school or Rotary club might adopt an entire village in northern Thailand for $33,000. “Many donors use The Original Really Useful Gift Catalog to involve youth groups in charitable giving through holiday season giving projects, yard sales, and car washes,” said Tereza Byrne, bureau chief for marketing and development for ADRA International. “Others send donations as holiday, birthday, or wedding gifts,” she continued. “This versatility allows donors to focus their attention on one particular portfolio, or select a variety of projects, knowing that 100 percent of every gift catalog donation goes directly to the chosen project.” The Original Really Useful Gift Catalog 2007 can be accessed online or requested (free of charge) by phone at 1.800.424.2372 (ADRA). |
