Want to benefit from operation santa claus?

Applications for charities to be among the beneficiaries of this year's SCMP/RTHK Operation Santa Claus fundraiser will close on August 14. If your organisation wishes to apply, please submit a proposal with the following information:

Background and objectives of the organisation.

Background of the patron(s) and the key staff/committee members.

How OSC can help your organisation with a specific project.

What sort of donation you require - cash, services or equipment - and why. If you require a cash donation, how much do you need for the project? Donations are shared among a range of charities, so requests over $500,000 are unlikely to be considered.

How you would use the donation and how you would measure its impact and gauge its success.
