“We could go out and bang doors and try to get random donations and that could work. But at the end of the day, the one thing that makes charities like this successful is when larger corporate donors give large chunks of money,” he said.
Those people who might not be able to donate money but would still like to contribute can help as volunteers, Habecker said. AmCham Taiwan holds fundraising events throughout the year, including a golf tournament and a chili cook-off. This November it will also hold a casino night.
Every dollar of proceeds from the events goes to the KIDZ program fund, Habecker said.
