What is foreign currency fundraising?

Foreign currency fundraising is the collection of leftover foreign currency by a charity or an organization wanting to fundraise to support a charity. Think of it like a penny drive, a toy drive, or even a food drive … you are asking people to donate something they have but are not carrying with them. Foreign currency fundraising is used by virtually every charity in the U.K. and many charities in Europe and Australia, as well as by dozens of international airlines and airports around the world.

In fact, there are 2 charities located in New Zealand and Ireland that are funded exclusively by the collection of leftover foreign currency. Currency for Kids is a local initiative supported by Global Coin Solutions that is funded by foreign currency.

Executive Director, Durham Children’s Aid Foundation

In Poland, the Narodowy Bank Polski (Polish Central Bank) runs a coin recycling / recirculation program in their branches, asking the public to return their loose change. This can be exchanged for bank notes on the spot or the funds can be directly deposited into the individual’s bank account. NBP created this program as they were finding that coin was not being recirculated. There is no charge or fee to the user.

As a result of this program, roughly 42kgs of mixed foreign coin from other countries was inadvertently deposited through the coin machines.

NBP reached out to Global Coin Solutions in an effort to put the foreign coin to good use since it had no value sitting in a vault in Poland.

Global Coin Solutions was able to help with this. The coins were collected, sorted, repatriated, and funds were then paid to a Polish charity, Towarzystwo Nasz Dom.

“Thank you for your help. It let us make good use of ‘worthless’ foreign coins with benefits for kids in orphanage”. – Krzysztof, Narodowy Bank Polski
