CCS understands that fundraising as a group has unique challenges and opportunities, and we are here to support your student-led group throughout your fundraising efforts! CCS offers helpful tools and resources, as well as ideas and success stories for inspiration along the way. In addition, we can set up a fundraising account for the group to work toward their fundraising goal together.
Thousands of CCS volunteers begin their volunteering abroad experience with fundraising — it not only helps you fulfill your dream of volunteering abroad, it also helps promote awareness of global issues. Fundraising can be a fun and enjoyable part of the volunteer abroad experience, and many volunteers who fundraise feel a special sense of fulfillment and a deepened dedication to international volunteering.
CCS fundraisers have engaged their local communities, friends, and families by letter-writing, email campaigns, and events such as concerts, art shows, raffles, and bake sales. Others have received contributions from local businesses and other grant-giving organizations.
