The most difficult part of embarking on an international journey is being able to fund your experience abroad. The program fee allows us to organize, support, and guide you through all aspects of your volunteer time, and it also helps cover costs related to the projects.

Grants by definition are given to volunteers. The idea is to provide financial help to those who are trying to make a positive impact on society.

Applying for a grant requires a good amount of time and preparation. It's likely that many people will be applying for the same grant as you. So in the end, your proposal needs to stand out. One of the most effective ways to do this also happens to be one of the simplest. Write concisely and know what to ask for. Know your goals, how you would like to achieve them and what resources you'll need to do so.

When it comes to writing a grant proposal, the less words you use, the better. State what you want clearly and simply.

Do yourself a favor by carefully researching about Foundations and go deeper about their philosophy and fund partners.

One of the most comprehensive books/websites on foundations is the “Foundation Directory.”
