Covering the costs of your placement
Whilst volunteering abroad comes at a cost, you are not paying to volunteer! You are covering your own expenses to volunteer, such as accommodation and meals, and the services that provide you with a successful placement for both the community you are serving and for yourself.Fundraising
To enable you to make your desire turn into reality, GVN recommends Fundraising to help you raise the funds for the costs of your program. We have many resources available including ideas and tips on our website.Support
Friends and family will be really supportive of
your goal to volunteer so include them in your plans as much as possible. Let them
know about the volunteer project you will be taking part in, talk to
them about the needs of the community and you’ll find most people will
want to help.
Not everyone has the opportunity to volunteer
themselves, friends and family will be eager to help in any way they
can. Many small donations will soon add up.
We are also pleased to annonce that we have partnered with the crowdfunding platform Go Get Funding which can help you raise up to 100% of the costs of your placement with us.
This method of online fundraising is a great way to raise the money you need and with Go Get Funding you can easily create a GVN Fundraising page.
Once you have created your page you can share your page link with family, friends and your wider network or contact. Social media, such as facebook, twitter, and email make it easy to spread the word.
So, go get funding.....apply to one of our programs, Join Us and start fundraising!
