     Fundraising For Your Volunteering or Internship Program 

  •                   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  

    Volunteering in Brazil is an exceptional, exhilirating and deeply satisfying experience - and at volunteerbrazil we are aware that there are some financial restrictions for some people. We are philosophically commited to opening up volunteering overseas to everyone.

  • To this end, we have done our bit by offering you the most competitive, comprehensive, overseas volunteer program available - moreover, we are up to 65% cheaper than comparable volunteering programs.

  •  There are some things that you can do (of course, we will assisit you) to help you fundraise your program. In addition to helping you with the costs associated with a volunteering overseas program, fundraising does many things. It raises awareness of the project and its objective needs, opens the overseas volunteering ¨ doors¨ to more people, and for you, it helps with your expenses as well as being a valuable contribution to your CV/resume.

  • Dont forget , you may fundraise for all or some of the following; Placement fee, airfare, living expenses and resources for both yourself and the project. Now for some basic information on how to get started!

  • Decide how much you need | Why are you volunteering? Your donors will want to know this, besides, thinking about this will help you become passionate in your fundraising activities | Make a comprehensive list of everyone you know, this is always a good place to start | Maintain professionalism throughout your fundraising campaign | Approach local business¨ and organisations (rememeber, we can mention donors on our website and in other literature, this is particularly attractive for business) | Plan, plan and plan - and stay motivated.

  • Always keep track and accurate records of who donated, and the value or description of the donation.

  • And finally, dont forget to approach benevolent societies and trusts in your local area. You could offer them a presentation or newsletters upon your return, which details your volunteering experiences.

  • And dont forget to ask us for any help, for instance, we can provide you with a letter of verification, set you up with a volunteerbrazil.com email address, provide you with photographs etc. For more information on fundraising your overseas volunteering program - please contact us: FUNDRAISING ENQUIRY
