Absolutely! We have programs all around the world participating in Pennies for Peace™. You simply register on the Pennies for Peace™ website, and then you can adjust the program to meet you needs (e.g. Pesos para la Paz, Pfennige für den (P)frienden, Pence for Peace, etc.). When it comes time to make your contribution you can have your bank convert your collected monies into a dollar check and you can send it to us, or you can make your donation via credit card on the Central Asia Institute website (www.ikat.org). Just make a note in the comments section that it is a Pennies for Peace™ donation.
4. Can I invite more than one group in my community to participate in my Pennies for Peace™ campaign?
Yes. What we do ask, however, is that each participating group register individually. This helps us track our demographics more accurately, and allows us to get the registration materials requested to the group directly.
5. How long after I register does it take for me to receive my Pennies for Peace™ materials?
Please give us 2-3 weeks to process your request for materials.
