Report on the 2022 campaign

During the very successful crowdfunding campaign in 2021 we fundraised a total of 519 335 dinars, through the online platform Donacije.rs, and individual donations to our bank account. This made it possible to give 20 scholarships instead of the 16 originally planned.

We value the support we receive!

We are delighted that the “Support Super Girls” campaign has been supported by various social elements. There were many anonymous donations, as well as donations made by friends, civil society colleagues, especially from women’s/feminist organizations. We are immensely grateful for every individual donation made by citizens, and treat it with great responsibility since we are aware of the domestic economic situation. Even once the campaign officially ended we received a donation from a wonderful, socially responsible, IT company which recognized the importance of this campaign and the need to give our girls an equal footing.

The decision making process was guided by internal acts of Policies for the Protection of Children, Procedures for Utilizing Social Media, and voting criteria which was made available to the commission prior to voting.

After the vote, from October 8th to the 10th, we organized Zoom interviews with the girls who were shortlisted. The interviews were conducted by AGC members and the girls as well as their parents.

We made the voting results public on October 11th – the International Girl Day – on social networks (FB and Instagram). Parents were informed by email and phone.

The campaign lasted from September 1st to the 30th, but the online donation platform wasn’t closed down till mid October because based on previous experience we knew that there would be more donations coming in through the online platform even after the official end of the campaign. At the end of the campaign we had clear insight into how much we received in donations, that is, we could make a more definite assessment on how many scholarships we could award, so instead of the 10 originally planed we awarded 20 scholarships.

The call for applications for Super Girl scholarships was open from September 20th to October 5th 2022. More than 384 girls applied. We wanted to have in depth understanding of how the scholarships advanced the talent of our Super Girls and what future needs may arise, so we devised a questionnaire intended for parents so that they can report on all of these issues. From the questionnaire it became evident that there is a need to increase visibility and promote successes achieved by Super Girls, and girls in general so as to sensitize society to their needs.

Even though we initially said we would announce the scholarship winners on the International Girl Day – October 11th – due to the large number of applications we delayed this activity for a week so as to ensure that the Commission would have time to read through thoroughly and grade all applications.

The Commission read through and graded the applications from October 6th to the 14th, after which we contacted the awardees via Zoom and took the opportunity to get to know them better. The Scholarship Allotment Ceremony was organized on Saturday, October 22nd, in Krusevac, at the National Museum Hall, and was attended by both girls and their parents.
