We realize that going on a trip is a huge decision - both spiritually and financially. Here are a few tips that have helped past trip goers raise funds.
1. Personal letter writing campaign:
These have been very successful to past trip goers. Some people may not be able to go on a trip themselves, but they may want to be a "sender" and feel connected to the trip experience in an unique way! You never know who in your community is willing to help, until you ask.
Here is a link to our trip donation page where people can give online towards your trip.
Here is a sample letter for you to send out.
2. Use a Fundraising Website
Crowdfunding has become one of the most popular ways to raise money for a personal cause or for an organization. Mission trips are no exception. A personal fundraising page can make donating to your trip a lot easier for your supporters and donors. You must also promote it which Hearts & Hope can help with if asked!
Here are some websites that are common for crowdfunding:
www.gofundme.com
www.Indiegogo.com
www.fundly.com
3. Sell Crafts or Baked Goods
Previous team members have had great success making and selling cookies, jewelry etc. People get to support your cause and get something authentic/tasty out of the exchange!
