During two weeks we intend to implement the project under the name “Donate Future Parents”. This project will be implemented on our platform in the form of the fundraising section for the purpose of financial help to people for whom the programs of auxiliary reproductive technologies are interesting but have a very heavy financial burden.
To this decision we were pushed by poll held earlier in the cities of Russia according to most of which Russians are not able to afford the program of commercial surrogacy. Prices on services in clinics of a reproduction, the centers of surrogacy and surrogate mothers are too high. It would be unconditional, naive to consider out from our side that this project is capable to solve this problem entirely, but thanks to our project if we help only a small number of people — it will be success. In the work we make a start first of all from quality indicator, and then we accept quantitative into account.
Before start to work we investigated and analyzed functionality of popular fundraising platforms such as gofundme, youcaring, fundly, giveforward, donorschoose, globalgiving, having focused the attention first of all to identification of their shortcomings and to the maximum tried to realize at ourselves the best decision. Our fundraising section “Donate Future Parents” unlike other platforms has the essential differences which first of all concern a guarantee of target use of the obtained monetary help in the course of a private campaign. It is important for us that the citizen who wants to post the announcement of a private campaign in the section “Donate Future Parents” is that it pretends to be. For this reason if you decide to post the announcement in the section “Donate Future Parents”, be ready that before it we will contact you via Skype, Viber, WhatsApp or any other way of video conference with the purpose of your identification, available to you. In addition indispensable conditions for placement of the announcement of a private campaign will be:
- the specific indication of the help which you need;
- indication of the exact cost;
- exact indication of the name and the address of clinic which services you intend to use;
- exact indication of the name of the legal agency, center of surrogacy etc.(in the presence).
All this information will be checked by our employees regarding reliability and only after that the announcement of a private campaign will be published in the fundraising section “Donate Future Parents”.
Important difference of our fundraising section from other fundraising platforms is that the raised money during the private campaign is not transferred directly to the person who needs the monetary help. All raised money is transferred by non-cash bank payment: to clinics of a reproduction, law firms, the centers of surrogacy and other organizations with which he (she) intends to cooperate. This condition is explained by the fact that only in such a way we can be convinced once again that the person who posted the announcement of the private campaign in the fundraising section “Donate Future Parents” is not a swindler and the raised money will be spent for the purposes specified in the announcement.
Reports on receipts of the monetary help from donors on all private campaigns will be published in open access in the Transparency Documents.
One more essential difference is that this service will be provided on a grant basis (free of charge). The commission will not be collected from recipients of address financial support.
In addition a number of restrictions will be provided:
- Citizens of any country will be able to place the announcement of the private campaign provided that the assembled money help will be spent (for services of clinic of a reproduction, service of law firm, center of surrogacy etc.) only within borders of the Russian Federation or Ukraine. This results from the fact that so far only within borders of the Russian Federation and Ukraine we can check target expenditure of the received monetary help.
- Only persons who plan for the received money help can place the announcement of a private campaign, to fulfill the dream and to become parents. In other words your friends, parents, colleagues etc. — will not be able to make it for you.
