fundraising advice for your volunteer abroad trip
If you’re looking to take a volunteer abroad trip but are short on funds, don’t worry! Fundraising can be a great way to make your dream trip a reality. Here are some tips to help you get started:
Reach out to your network: Ask your friends, family, and colleagues if they’d be willing to make a donation. You can organise a fundraising event, or simply ask for donations.
Look for grants and scholarships: Many organisations (including us here at TSAP Travel) offer grants and scholarships specifically for volunteer abroad trips. Do your research and see if you qualify for any of these.
Crowdfund: Sites like GoFundMe and Indiegogo are great places to start a crowdfunding campaign. When setting up your campaign, make sure to explain the details of your trip and how the money will be used (feel free to contact us for advice).
Fundraise offline: You can hold a bake sale, a quiz night or a boot fair to raise funds for your volunteer abroad trip. Ask your friends and family to help out in any way they can.
Utilise online resources: Sites like GlobalGiving and other sites offer online fundraising tools and resources to help you reach your goals.
Keep in mind that different organisations provide different levels of support when it comes to fundraising for your project. Here at TSAP Travel we'll host your fundraiser for you, share your story on our social media and help you organise any events. Contact us to find out more!
