Giving students the option to donate their deposits can drive engagement and support meaningful causes. Here’s how to make it work on your campus:
1. Promote with Purpose
Leverage campus communication channels:
- Digital & Physical Signage – Display in dining halls, residences, and common spaces.
- Social Media – Spread the message through engaging content.
- Tabling & Events – Create on-campus touchpoints to encourage participation.
Use our suggested internal communications document to help drive those conversations!
2. Partner with Campus Groups
Work with student unions, sustainability offices, and on-campus/local charities to amplify awareness and drive participation.
Need your schools preferred charity added to the Friendlier app? Reach out to us directly at info@friendlier.com with the charity name, registration number, and logo.
3. Celebrate & Share Results
Regularly update students on progress (e.g., “$100 donated, let’s reach $500!”), highlight success stories, and thank participants to keep momentum going.
By making donations simple, visible, and rewarding, you can turn every return into a chance to create real change.
