Volunteer abroad with ICYE UK
Fundraising
As a not-for-profit charity, we have a standard programme fee to cover the costs involved in our unique reciprocal exchange programme, which we are always transparent about.
​
If a volunteer wishes to fundraise towards the programme fee, we can provide advice and guidance in this regard. Although raising a programme fee may seem quite daunting, many of our volunteers in the past have successfully taken up fundraising activities to help them reach their target. Fundraising also means you are also raising awareness of your host country and project and potentially inspiring more people to volunteer!
Here’s how we can help if you wish to fundraise towards the programme fee
-
When you sign up to volunteer with us, we will invite you to a 1-2-1 fundraising meeting to help design an individual tailored fundraising plan for you.
-
We’ll set you up with your personalised fundraising webpage so you can start receiving donations and claim gift aid on donations made by UK taxpayers.
-
We will send you a fundraising guide with lots of ideas, a press release guide, a sponsorship form and links to other fundraising websites for even more ideas!
-
We will send you a list of Trusts and Foundations, to apply to for donations. (We will even do some research into relevant Trusts on your behalf!)
