Your donation is an essential part of the overall Solid budget that covers all our operations and achievements. This budget is made up of a variety of funding sources. We follow a multiannual program and draw up an annual budget. This determines how much money goes to each activity. If we were to do it the other way round and let people choose exactly which activity they want to support, we would run the risk of certain essential activities being forgotten, and moreover, continuity over the years cannot be guaranteed. After all, Solid is not an emergency aid organization, but a nonprofit that strives for structural changes. 

In our communication, we always make it clear that the projects we describe are examples of the efficient use of Solid's donations. These examples are meant to make clear what Solid is all about, what choices we make and what results we (want to) achieve.

Solids initiatives and projects are long-term processes with a clear focus. That is why it is so important that we can count on your structural commitment. This way, we can better assess what financial resources we will have in the future and make realistic plans. But this requires investment. A little bit every month. By people who know what is important. Monthly giving to Solid is simply the best long-term investment that you can make – it’s the most effective and manageable way you can support our efforts to minimize poverty. 

Do you invest too?
