Money Issues....?

Question

I would love to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity traveling the US. But the thing is, I cannot afford to do it. Is there any way of getting money like fundraising? I do not even know where to start!

Answer 1

Have you contacted Habitat and asked them what you can do here at home to help?  They have several programs in which you can gather donations and items for the homes they build.

Here are some fund raising ideas to help you out:

Fundraising Ideas

1. Do a search online for free fund raising ideas, there thousands of them, pick the ones you can do quickly. (see below)

2. Post a blog entry about it.

3. Join some community and fund raising forums and website and post your message there.

4. Email your friends with the information and ask them to forward the email to others.

5. Post flyers with the information on bulletin boards and other charity sites.

6.  As for companies, it depends on the type of work you are doing.  Go for the big ones first, like Nike, Coke, Pepsi, etc, send them letters and ask for sponsorship, sometimes these companies just send out checks to folks!

7.  Then go to local companies, meet the owners face to face and explain your need and how it will benefit the local community.
