Fundraising initiative raises approximately 23,000 euros for the emergency response team Egling-Heinrichshofen
In the heart of Landsberg, Germany, a new First Responder unit is taking shape, aiming to enhance emergency medical care in the region. The unit, located in Egling-Heinrichshofen, is the result of a successful crowdfunding campaign and a showcase of regional cohesion and volunteer commitment.
The funds for the new First Responder group were raised through a combination of public contributions and bank funding. Raiffeisenbank Lechrain's crowdfunding platform, "Many achieve more," played a significant role in this endeavour, contributing 23,280 euros towards the establishment of the new unit.
The funds collected will be used to facilitate the purchase of emergency backpacks, protective clothing, medical devices, and the initial equipment of the emergency vehicle for the new First Responder unit in Egling-Heinrichshofen. An additional 5,000 euros were contributed directly by Raiffeisenbank Lechrain, with the board member, Johannes Rauschmeier, expressing pleasure at supporting this important project in the region.
For those considering setting up a crowdfunding platform for a local First Responder group, there are two main approaches. You can opt for established platforms like GoFundMe or Fundly, which offer quick setup and built-in payment processing and regulatory compliance. Alternatively, you can build a custom platform, but this requires compliance with financial regulations and implementing secure user authentication features.
In the case of the Egling-Heinrichshofen First Responder unit, the crowdfunding process was straightforward, demonstrating the potential of community support for such initiatives. The successful fundraising campaign serves as a beacon of hope for those in need of immediate medical attention in the region, bridging the time until the arrival of emergency services.
As the new First Responder unit gears up for its official launch, the community of Egling-Heinrichshofen can take pride in their collective efforts that have made this vital service a reality. The unit's equipment, including the emergency vehicle, is now fully funded, thanks to the generous contributions from the public and Raiffeisenbank Lechrain.
