We encourage all of our volunteers to fundraise to assist with project costs. Upon receipt of your deposit and project confirmation, VESA will send out a fundraising package, containing a letter from VESA introducing you to potential donors, a letter from the local host organisation, a list of proven fundraising ideas and a receipt document. Many of our students have raised all of the funds necessary for their project and flight costs. See our Facebook group, Volunteer Eco Students Abroad, for some fundraising idea inspiration. Please note, whilst VESA is a volunteer organisation it is not a registered charity so donations will not be tax deductible.
