I started this new thread for these collections so that both of these important fundraisers get the attention they deserve.
Christmas Kettle:
Assignment
Let’s support the less fortunate and others in need even in difficult times to enable Christmas in every home! Let’s all participate according to our possibilities. Small streams make a big river!
Red Cross (SPR):
Assignment
The Inderes forum’s reaction to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine shows that investors’ hearts are in the right place.
I extended the collection time since it’s not finished yet, and the need for help continues. Let’s reach that €75k mark. Thank you!
With your help Red Cross helps victims of natural disasters and war all over the world. In Finland, aid is offered to victims of sudden accidents, such as fires. Donations also maintain the preparedness of volunteers to act in crisis situations. You are protecting the most vulnerable.
Every euro is important, meaning even a small donation helps. Above are two collections, and both raise money for very important causes. Juurikki put it excellently: “These collections do not compete; they complement each other. At least Juurikki is participating in both.”
Can I suggest other Christmas charity targets here, or is the idea just this one target?
EDIT: Following Sijoittaja-alokas’s (Investor Rookie) response, I’m also putting forward Lasten Liike (Children’s Movement) as a donation target.
Exercise and sports are close to my heart, and that’s why I want to help children find the joy of movement. A sports club can ignite a spark for sports or even help one find a friend.
If there are others here who want to support children’s physical activity, there is a link below. Of course, all charity is important, whether it’s for nature, animals, children, or anything else. I hope you donate to a cause that feels important to you.
There are a couple of fundraisers started by Inderesians there, but I don’t think anyone will mind if other appropriate and legal fundraising links are posted here in addition to these two.
All good fundraisers, but charity organizations are sometimes so heavy that only half of your donation, or even less, actually reaches the cause. This year, I again took part in the joulupata.fi fundraiser, as well as two fundraisers that touch me personally. Merry Christmas to everyone!
Large organizations have always been criticized for these things, and they have long had various compliance-type reports on their websites. For many organizations, that ‘wastage’ hovers around the 7-9% range, which is reasonable in itself.
Just a reminder about our fundraisers. There are links to the collections above if you would like to participate.
Our Salvation Army fundraiser: Let’s support the underprivileged and others in need even in difficult times to make Christmas possible in every home! Let’s all participate according to our means. Small streams make a big river!
Our Red Cross fundraiser: I extended the collection period as it’s not finished yet and the need for help continues. Let’s reach the €75k goal. Thank you!

Many thanks to everyone who participated in the fundraisers!
Fix those links now and delete this message, thanks. Juurikki gets one more negative point closer to the Inderes lounge coal cellar. It’s cold there, since they’ve switched to central heating or something. And let Uncle Masse out of the lounge cellar, if only for the sake of Christmas and goodwill toward men, okay?
