Take action

An appeal at a life event

Are you organising a birthday party, a wedding, a graduation party or a retirement celebration? You can invite your guests to make a donation to the Hippo & Friends type 1 diabetesfonds. Are you welcoming a baby into the family soon and looking for an alternative to the traditional baby registry? Donations to a good cause are a wonderful initiative.

Contact us at info@hippoandfriends.be or at steun@kuleuven.be for a unique reference, which allows us to send you a general overview of the donations (names of the donors and the total amount, no individual amounts). The usual donation principle applies here too: a gift of 40 euros or more entitles you to a tax certificate.

A sporting challenge or an action in support of Hippo & Friends?

We are delighted that you would like to set up an action in support of Hippo & Friends. There are various options that we are happy to go through with you. We have a fundraising platform on our website (support without a tax certificate) and a crowdfunding platform run by KU Leuven (with a tax certificate). Which platform suits you depends on your action, and you may not need one at all.

We are happy to discuss the possibilities with you and to think along about how to work it out. Contact us without obligation at info@hippoandfriends.be.

If you start an action yourself and want to support a particular project, such as scientific research, let us know and we will make sure the funds end up in the right place.

If it makes no difference to you, the board of the non-profit Hippo and Friends decides how the funds are allocated.
