Fundraising for CO-ID. It's easy to get on board today.

Free basic education for even more boys and girls on Bhola Island. With your kind support, we can make it happen faster.

You could do this teaming up with your family, work mates, school friends or neighbours and organise a special fund raising event as a group effort. It could be a garage sale, social dinner, cake drive - whatever idea works best for you.

Our fundraising guidelines are simple.

Unlike some charities, here at CO-ID we do not get involved with giving commissions to charity fundraisers. We promise donors that 98% of the funds raised will go to Bangladesh, so commissions are not possible. Ever. Of course, the out-of-pocket costs from any fundraising event you organise can be deducted from the total raised.

You can build a CO-ID school for just AUD$8,000(US$6,000) plus AUD$8,000(US$6,000) for annual running costs.

If you are fund raising for us overseas, that's approximately US$6,000 per year for a school, or £2,700 or 3900 euros per year. Not much in any currency and a very achievable target.

Download Badge

Spread the word about all the good work being done at Bhola Island. Simply download this badge and place it on your web pages. We don't have regular static badges and feel that this is a more interesting way of getting people who visit your web site motivated to know more about us.

The number of schools automatically updates as we complete them. To date, we have built 41 schools and have raised funds for more. It's a great result, thanks to so many generous, caring supporters out there. (We are always looking for more.)

The badge contains a link to the home page of www.fredhyde.org

This puts all the details about Bhola Island and CO-ID at supporters' fingertips. If people choose to make a donation, they can simply click through to the donation page. As 98% of funds raised go direct to Bangladesh, people can clearly see it's a worthwhile charity to support.

	Webmasters - How the online badge works.
	The online badge will be streamed from the CO-ID server. When the number of schools built is updated, it will automatically do the same on your web site.
