Donation campaign - Pins for a good cause

A brief description (for those who don't have enough time):
Every month a new collection PIN is released with nice details of the exhibit. ALL revenues (including the cost of production) are completely passed on for a good cause, every month for a different institution. The institutions which receive the money are chosen by the purchasers of the pins. The pins are available either individually or as a complete year collection including an extra pin.
The price is 2.90 € per piece and hopefully all our guests buy them in our Onlineshop.
All motives can be found in the
Annual Overview
Current amount of donations
Up to now 55,595,- € have been collected! (Last update 08/10/2007)
And now more detailed information:
We are living in Germany, a country which is home to luxury and poverty at the same time. Many of us are living a good life. However, compared to the rest of the world, mostly we are having very good to excellent lives.
Germany is famous for its willingness to donate. That became obvious two years ago when the Tsunami disaster hit Asia. Almost 700 million Euros were donated at that time. Every day tens of thousands of children die worldwide, who might still live when fortune would have favoured them and they were born in Germany. However, there is also poverty and diseases among children in Germany which make it impossible for them to have a carefree childhood like most of you had.
We are only a small medium-sized business which fortunately attracts some attention :-). We have used this attention several times in the past in order to do good. Certainly this also includes for us to give something. Both factors combined will raise a lot of money for good causes in the future.
Now we have thought about a very special campaign. Many visitors ask for pins of the Wunderland. From now on there is a new collection pin available every month. The pins cost 2.90 €, a standard price. HOWEVER, all revenues are completely passed on to the respective institution. That means including the costs of production which is our part of donation. In case we are able to sell all pins, the donation will be 5,800,- € per month as 2,000 pins are produced per motive (2,000 x 2,90 €)! Hopefully, all of you take part – the first pins have already been released. The exclusive annual collection including the extra pin is available in the Onlineshop.
Now some more information about the pins. We will make 12 pins about one of the exhibit sections every year. Here you can see the planned editions:
2007: 12 Pins of the subject: Harz, Alps and Knuffingen
2008: 12 Pins of the subject: Hamburg
2009: 12 Pins of the subject: USA
2010: 12 Pins of the subject: Scandinavia
2011: 12 Pins of the subject: Switzerland etc.
All purchaser of the annual collection can co-decide which institution receives the money! And now we hope for high participation ,
your Miniatur Wunderland
P.S. Here some information for the rightly suspicious readers of you. Such a campaign demands high faith in the donation raiser. We promise that we won’t betray that trust! We have, that’s what we think at least, a high reputation which we don’t want to lose. However, in the following you find some more information which hopefully eases you to trust in us: We will regularly publish all figures. That includes delivery notes as well as transfer vouchers to the institutions. We will do a cash check every quarter and the received amounts will be passed on immediately. If a pin is sold out very fast, we will transfer the money at once. In case we can foresee that all pins are always sold out, we will make advanced payments of the complete amount.
