   1. Where exactly does the money go?

   2. How much effort is involved in running a Loose Change campaign?
    1. A campaign can be as time-intensive as you like. It can be as simple as putting out a canister and NTD information in your school, workplace, or place of worship, or as involved as organizing a competition for change collection with multiple teams and prizes.

  1. How long should it last?
    1. We’ve found that the ideal length of time for a campaign is at least one week, but this is very flexible based on you or your group’s particular needs.
