Top, the "social bet 2.0" is on!

"Bet that your organisation will not manage to raise at least 300 euros in donations within five weeks?!" - With this call for bets, the application phase for the "social bet 2.0" of Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung, an initiative to actively promote social engagement in Upper Franconia, started in mid-October. The response was overwhelming: As the number of expressions of interest rose far above the original twenty betting partnerships to be awarded just three days after the official call for bets, the foundation decided without further ado to double them. A total of forty social and charitable organisations now have the chance to collect donations during the five-week betting period from 8 November to 10 December 2021 and to be rewarded with an attractive bet.

"Social bet 2.0" to strengthen civic engagement

Supporting civic engagement and thus strengthening social participation in Upper Franconia is a top priority for the Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung . After last year's successful betting call, this year's "social bet" now also makes this clear: The foundation bets that organisations will not manage to win at least 300 euros in donations within a period of five weeks. Although the betting call this year follows a purely financial approach and does not focus on the profit of volunteers as in the last betting round, the Foundation remains true to its betting concept! Despite the change in the object of the bet, the "Social Bet 2.0" also follows the gamification approach and thus increases the ambition of the participating organisations. In addition, there is once again an attractive betting prize: if the bet is won with the collection of at least 300 euros in donations, the foundation will double this amount up to a maximum of 1,000 euros. A bonus of 1,000 euros will also be awarded to the organisation that was able to generate its donations with the most innovative fundraising idea.

With the end of the application phase for the "social bet 2.0" of Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung last Friday, the participating betting partners have been determined. A total of forty social and non-profit organisations from all over Upper Franconia are following the Foundation's call for bets. Originally, there were only twenty betting partnerships to be awarded. However, due to the large number of applications received, the Foundation decided without further ado to double the number of betting partnerships to forty!
