Regular donations
We also offer the following options for our loyal donors:
- Bank direct debit (LSV)
- PostFinance direct debit (DD)
- Standing order
Direct debits and standing orders reduce the time and money spent on administrative work. This ensures that more of your donation gets through to the children who urgently need it.
To donate by direct debit or standing order, we require you to complete and sign a form. You can choose whether you want to support UNICEF as a member, as a project sponsor or as a Global Parent, or whether you want to support a specific program with a regular donation.
