Highland - Palestine organizes regular rallies, fundraisers and other events where we collect donations for the people of Gaza. We are able to accept donations at our events by either cash or card. All donations recieved are deposited in the Highland - Palestine bank account before being distributed. The Highland - Palestine coordinating group meets once a week to determine how best to use donations. A small fraction of the money raised goes to the material costs of our campaign such as printing leaflets and stickers, and the rest goes to charitable and direct aid for Palestinians.
The largest recipient of our donations is Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). Highland - Palestine also has direct links with several families living in Gaza and regularly transfers money directly to them. We also contribute money towards fundraisers set up by or for Palestinians living in Gaza. We carefully vet fundraisers and only contribute money if we are able to verify with someone who has personal contact with the person in question that the fundraiser is legitimate. Below you can find details of the fundraisers we are currently supporting.
Highland - Palestine keeps records of all donations received and has processes in place to ensure all donations are distributed to the cause for which they were raised. We are an entirely volunteer organisation and no one involved in Highland - Palestine's work receives any form of financial compensation for the work we do. If you would like any further information about our fundraising activities please email us at highland.palestine@gmail.com.
