The founders of Cup of Color, Rahel and Damon Lam, believe in the power of beauty as rebellion. Their projects, including murals and creative activities, enable people to discover their own abilities and bring about positive changes in their environment. Thanks to a deep connection with the community, they have a unique approach to social projects.

“We believe that a flower in the middle of concrete deserts is a sign of hope, an uprising, a voice that says: ‘and I am capable of creating beauty amidst pain and misery. I am capable of change.’” – Rahel Lam

Creative Ways to Attract Attention and Raise Funds

Cup of Color operates thanks to a passionate and dedicated team that works mostly on a voluntary basis. This ensures that donations flow directly into current projects instead of costly organizational structures. The organization also relies on creative ways to generate donations – from storytelling events to the sale of advent calendars to a unique online magazine, they provide insights into their world and show how stories can touch people.

In selecting their projects, Cup of Color also proceeds uniquely:

“We are directly invited by communities and thus do not invest in our ideas and the development of improvement ideas, but directly in what the community specifically wants.” – Rahel Lam

Payrexx as the Key to Funding: Insights into the Partnership

Seeking long-term support to fund their creative projects is a constant challenge for Cup of Color. This is where Payrexx comes in to optimize the donation collection process.

“To carry out our projects, we rely on more or less financial means, depending on the size. Previously, we primarily received donations via bank transfers. With Payrexx, we can receive donations digitally, have an overview of the income, and better know our donors.” – Rahel Lam

The ease of handling different payment methods and donation forms makes Payrexx an indispensable tool for an internationally active organization like Cup of Color. The personal support and financial assistance at a reduced price for NGOs also make the partnership particularly successful.

Fundraising of 40,000 Francs with Payrexx

Cup of Color is proud of their latest crowdfunding campaign Chai of Hope, which they were able to successfully implement with the help of Payrexx. The organization raised 40,000 Francs through Payrexx donation forms for a shelter for women in the red-light district of Kolkata.

The donations not only enable the painting of buildings but also create secure jobs for local communities and open up new horizons for Cup of Color to continue realizing their vision of beauty as a tool for change.
