It Still Exists! - 2024

"It Still Exists" is a charity event that RICDOG has been organizing for 14 years, continuously, on New Year's Eve. The charity event aims to support socially vulnerable, large families living below the poverty line. During these years “It Still Exists” has become a great tradition and has even acquired a slogan – it is a New Year's tradition for Me, You, and the Whole City! In 2024, we helped 30 socially vulnerable, large families in the New Year and fulfilled the wishes of more than 120 children. In addition to individual donations, our team has received support from several companies, small and medium-sized businesses, including: We would like to remind you that in November-December 2024, based on the ongoing processes in Georgia, the organization made a decision not to implement one of the components of the action event - the Event. (See the announcement). For more information about the event, click here:

"It Still Exists" – This Year It Will Be Held in a Different Format

Due to the current situation in Georgia, RICDOG has decided to hold the “It Still Exists” charity campaign in a different format this year. Despite all the challenges, we continue to collect funds and other resources with the help of individual donors and companies, so we can visit socially vulnerable, large families on New Year’s Eve and bring them joy. However, this year, the traditional charity evening event will not take place, as Georgia is currently fighting for its future. We will, on a smaller scale, but definitely help families before the New Year. To our loyal supporters, we kindly ask you: Consider that the event took place and that you participated in it. Therefore, the cost of a ticket for the event, as a donation, should be transferred to our account, and together we can strengthen our charitable cause! Your support is invaluable! We wish Georgia victory and a better future! Anyone can donate! Donations can be made to the following account numbers: GEL account (TBC): GE08TB7127036080100002 GEL account (BOG): GE97BG0000000528008670 Recipient: Research-Intellectual Club "Dialogue of Generations. Please indicate "Donation."

ART is Fun+ has reached its goal with crowdfunding!

Thank you to all our supporters! We are happy to announce that we have raised the target amount, which means that the idea will receive $ 3,500 co-financing from the USAID Civil Society Engagement Program. We can already say with confidence that RICDOG will soon implement ART is Fun+. P.S. “ART is Fun +” is a special program for 100 socially vulnerable children. The program will develop key competencies, English language skills, creativity and critical thinking in children. Children participating in the program will become more confident and motivated, which will also be reflected in their academic results and level of social engagement. The program will be held in the newly created social enterprise space in Kutaisi, with the involvement of youth workers.

Charity campaign "It Still Exists"

It Still Exists – a New Year’s tradition for me, you and the whole city! The idea for the “It Still Exists” campaign dates back to Eliso Gegenava, a member of the organization at the time. She independently helped socially vulnerable large families with only one parent. After Eliso spread this idea throughout the organization, the organization’s members quickly adopted it and gave it a larger scale. Over time, many traditions have formed around the “It Still Exists” campaign, and it has become a traditional charity event of the whole city, with traditional participants. Preparations for the campaign begin in November, in which members of the organization, volunteers and elves join in order to help as many families as possible. The organization’s volunteers make handmade items, bake muffins, make hot chocolate and start collecting donations by selling them throughout the city. The members of the organization are working on sponsorships, looking for companies that will support the event with products or money. Gift box in the Kutaisi shopping center "Karvasla" Since 2021, elves have been placing a "He Still Exists" gift box on the third floor of "Karvasla", where any person […]
