We always want to be the best, but in this case we are also particularly pleased about the second place: GP tom and the Austrian Red Cross were awarded second place in the "Innovation of the Year" category by the jury at the Austrian Fundraising Awards 2022. The Austrian Fundraising Awards are presented by the Fundraising Verband Austria. Effective and outstanding fundraising projects are awarded by a jury. Particularly successful projects are in the spotlight.

Earlier this year we received a special request: the Red Cross contacted us and asked if we would like to participate in their current fundraising activities. The Red Cross headquarters reacted very quickly at the beginning of the year to the start of the war in Ukraine and wanted to quickly help those people who needed our support the most.

For us, it was clear that we wanted to help. So our employees, in cooperation with Erste Bank and Sparkasse, thought about the best and most effective way to support the Red Cross. We realised that we could help the Red Cross not only with a monetary donation, but also with our products.
At the beginning of our cooperation, GP tom was involved in major events such as a benefit concert at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, a fundraising campaign at the Heldenplatz in Vienna and a benefit concert at the Vienna State Opera. The Austrians have traditionally shown themselves to be very generous in fundraising activities, so we are very proud to have contributed our small part here.

But the cooperation doesn't end there: the Red Cross continues to use smartphones with the GP tom app. We are particularly pleased that we were able to help so quickly, that our solution was so well received and that it is still in use. It also demonstrates the opportunity for application for the GP team, which displays exactly the kind of out-of-the-box thinking that we like to encourage and support.
