Our main goal is to provide the necessary information and resources\r\nfor students and young travellers to have easier access to international programs. <\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">To be able to finance and carry out your project abroad, we&#8217;ve come up with <strong>ideas, advice and above\r\nall, reliable and up-to-date tools and resources<\/strong>. Our team is constantly on the lookout to know all the possible options and make international experiences accessible.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Important points on funding<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: left\">\r\n<li>It\u2019s important to note that raising funds or finding financial aid takes time. We encourage you to explore several paths amongst those we list as well as begin planning your desired<\/li>\r\ndeparture date as soon as possible. (Between 6 and 12 months)\r\n<li>The funding process is an essential part of the project. Knowing how to finance a project is already a small dive in the humanitarian field; It is a sought-after skill in this sector which requires organization and perseverance.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p> <\/p> <ol style=\"text-align: left\">\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Financing options list<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: left\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>1.

Who can benefit from the Erasmus+ programme?<\/h3>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nIndividuals from EU countries who are interested in areas such as education, apprenticeship, work-study programmes,\r\ntraining, teaching, job search, as well as volunteer work can go abroad with Erasmus+. Non EU citizens can benefit from Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees or the international dimension of student and staff exchange and youth exchange schemes (information taken from official website of the European Union)<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\r\nThere is only one condition: this stay must have an objective towards learning, training or sharing experience and knowledge.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\r\n<strong>Attention: to benefit from the Erasmus + program you must contact an organization with a project funded by the program. <\/strong> For example: a student will have to contact their institution (e.g. university) and apply for a scholarship through them.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\r\n<h3>b. Erasmus+ for students<\/h3>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nWhich students is Erasmus+ targeted towards?<\/p>\r\n<strong>All students enrolled in initial or work-linked training in a higher education institution.<\/strong> Universities are not the only ones included: all public and private institutions in higher education offer Erasmus+ mobility. Some examples of included institutions are example: business schools, engineering schools, agricultural institutes, art schools, music conservatories, nursing training\r\ninstitutes or apprentice training centres.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>For individuals interested, you will need to apply through an organisation, for example, a university or company. Namely: <\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\r\n Study or internship mobility can be done from the first year of study.<\/li>\r\n<li> Mobility lasts from 2 months to a maximum of 12 months per study cycle.<\/li>\r\n<li> You can go to EU member countries and since 2021, to all countries worldwide!<\/li>\r\n<li> You can benefit from a scholarship between 460 and 750 \u20ac (approx. $510 \u2013 $ 820 USD) per<\/li>\r\nmonth for an internship abroad depending on the destination (the amount is set by each<\/li>\r\ninstitution).\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\">c.

Creation of an online fundraiser<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis is the first step in your fundraiser! You can create an online fundraiser on a crowdfunding platform and share your goals. Be careful to take care of the presentation, if possible, include videos\r\nand all the elements that contribute to presenting your project.\r\n<\/p>\r\nThere are many popular online fundraiser\/crowdfunding sites available online, but ones that we recommend are <a href=\"https:\/\/chuffed.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Chuffed<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> IndieGoGo<\/a>, which is not only user friendly, but offers a step-by-step process to creating a good fundraiser.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nIf you are a group, we advise you to create an association, appoint a president, treasurer and secretary, and open an account on <a href=\"https:\/\/fonzip.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fonzip.<\/a> <\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nThis website will help you organize your funds and offers\r\nquality NGO management tools that will further impact the growth of your fundraiser.

Media campaigns<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nNow that your crowdfunding page is online, it&#8217;s time to spread it on all the social media accounts you have. Post it in relevant groups, student associations, relevant professional networks and\/or contact committed influencers who agree to pass on your message to their followers. \r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Alternatively, ask for an interview in a local newspaper. Many groups of students planning to go on a volunteer trip share press articles featuring their photo, project description and online fundraiser.<\/p>\r\n<p><h3>3. Contact corporate foundations<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>Search and make a list of all the companies that promote a foundation, a philanthropic organization, a social responsibility. \r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Many companies now say they are committed to sustainable development\r\nand support for social and environmental causes.

Look for potential sponsors.<\/p>\r\n<p>2. Tell your organization&#8217;s story and make a presentation of your project<\/p>\r\n<p>3. Offer against parties.

Find the right contact or the right service within the company<\/p>\r\n<p>7. Establish a relationship with regular contacts.<\/p>\r\n<p>8. Jumpstart!<\/p>\r\n<p><h3>4. Contact private foundations<\/h3><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n<h4>Lions Club \/ Rotary Club<\/h4><\/p>\r\n<p>The Lions Club and Rotary Club foundations distribute funds and support projects in the areas of youth, disaster relief, humanitarian, medical, hunger alleviation, education, and the environment.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million supportive decision-makers who see a world where\r\npeople come together and take action to bring lasting change to the world. <\/strong> <\/p>\r\n<p>Less elitist, Lions clubs are made up of middle and senior managers of small businesses, while Rotary Clubs tend to bring together leaders and professionals.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nSome private and philanthropic foundations provide grants for the participation in environmental, animal, and social projects. Do not hesitate to contact them to present your project and know what\r\neligibility criteria is necessary to finance a project.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.internationalanimalrescue.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>International Animal Rescue: <\/strong><\/a> \r\nThey are an international foundation that has a goal to protect the wildlife ecosystems and prevent the endangerment of animals. Since 1989 they have been working across the globe to end the\r\ntorment and trade of animals as a way to restore the equilibrium between human and animal life. <\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwildlife.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)<\/strong><\/a>: \r\nWWF is an international based non-governmental organization that aims to protect nature and wildlife.

Think about local actions!<\/h2><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<h3>a. Sporting Events &amp; Activities<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nSign up for a race or sports competition and ask your loved ones to donate for your participation. Another option is to organize a waste collection and ask donors to donate per filled garbage bag. <strong>The options are endless, so let your imagination run wild!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<h3>b. Organize events<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>A great example is of a group of nursing students from France that hit the jack pot by organizing a day hike. With a participation fee set at $5.50 USD per person, they managed to raise $7,670 USD\r\nin one day! That was almost all the funds needed to finance their internship in Thailand!<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nOther events such as raffles or trivia nights can be organized with a participation fee. <strong>Remember to approach companies or businesses to offer them to aid in sponsoring prizes for the winners!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<h3>c. Partnership with a restaurant<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nPresent your project to restaurants near your establishment or find a restaurateur in your neighbourhood who is willing to offer a small donation per meal ordered for one evening. It&#8217;s time to invite your friends and family to inflate the note a little \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\r\n<p><h3>d. Donations as gifts<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nTake advantage of a special occasion and ask your loved ones for a donation. Anything from Christmas, birthdays to parties &#8230; Send your fundraiser to your friends and family and <strong>ask them to donate instead of buying you a gift this year.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n<h3>e. Sell your stuff<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>Clothes, books, games and other accessories that have been lying around in your house for severalyears can surprisingly bring you a sum of money. It could be from a garage sale or a sale on a secondhand site (Vinted, Depop, eBay &#8230;). And if you don&#8217;t have enough stock, <strong>invite your friends and family to donate their books to make money while decluttering homes!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<h3>f. Collecting Miles<\/h3>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAirfares are an important part of the costs of an international project. Ask your globetrotting friends; some might give you a boost by donating their miles&#8230; A good plan for traveling at the lowest cost!<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<h3>g. Put your talents to work<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>Use your skills! If you are good at photography, you can organize an exhibition to sell your pictures,make a calendar or shirt, offer portraits in exchange for a small donation. <strong>Be creative and use your talents to achieve your goal.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<h3>h. The classic: The cake fundraiser<\/h3><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nEveryone knows how to make pancakes, cupcakes or cookies. Whether it be at your workplace, school, or local neighbourhood areas, selling pastries or small sweets will always be a safe bet!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><h2 style=\"text-align: left\">Conclusion: The Power to Act Within Everyone&#8217;s Reach!<\/h2><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Whether you\u2019re going solo or in a group, a viable development project requires significant resources. Contrary to a tourist stay, travelling with an impact requires logistics, supervision, equipment, and a serious structure. This is the minimum to ensure that journeys are long-term,\r\nmanaged by specialists and carried out in collaboration with local communities.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nFinancing a humanitarian trip therefore is an integral part of the project. Just like field experience, it\u2019s a learning process. You have a goals and aspirations; and you\u2019ve got to find any means to achieve\r\nit, and the good news is that it&#8217;s achievable! <\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nSo, what are the keys to success? <strong>Anticipate, plan,\r\nresearch, persevere.<\/strong>\r\n<\/p>\r\nWe send hundreds of students and young individuals to various programs every year, helping each one of them blossom their passions and dreams.
