FAQ: How Fundraising Works ❓

Fundraising is an essential part of making this educational trip possible. Students, families, and community members work together to cover costs, ensuring that every traveler can experience the adventure of a lifetime. Below, you’ll find details on how students can participate in fundraising, where the money goes, and how sponsorships & donations may be tax-deductible.

📌 Your support makes a difference—here’s how it all works!

How Students Can Fundraise

💡 Students play an active role in making this trip a reality! They can participate in a variety of fundraising opportunities, both individually and as a group.

🔹 Ways Students Can Raise Funds:
Sell Fundraising Products – Participate in school-approved fundraisers like food sales, merchandise, or raffles.
Work at Fundraising Events – Help organize car washes, bake sales, restaurant nights, or community events.
Seek Sponsorships – Ask local businesses, friends, and family members to sponsor their trip or contribute to the general trip fund.
Set Up a Personal Fundraising Page – If allowed, students can share their fundraising journey online via social media or crowdfunding platforms.

📌 Every effort helps! Students are encouraged to take ownership of their travel costs by actively participating in these fundraising activities.

Where Funds Go

📌 Transparency is key! Every dollar raised goes directly toward covering student travel expenses and ensuring a safe, educational, and unforgettable experience.

🔹 Fundraising Contributions Cover:
✈️ Airfare & Transportation – Flights, train tickets, and ground travel
🏨 Accommodations – Hotel stays in France & Spain
🍽️ Meals – Daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner
🏛️ Educational Experiences – Entry fees for historical landmarks, museums, and guided tours
🛡️ Travel Insurance & Safety Measures – Coverage for medical emergencies and unforeseen trip changes

📌 100% of the money raised stays within the program to benefit student travelers. No hidden fees—just real impact!

Payment & Tax-Deductibility

📌 Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes! In most cases, donations to the trip fund or student sponsorships may be tax-deductible if processed through a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (such as the school’s travel program or an affiliated booster club).

🔹 Important Donation Information:
💳 Accepted Payment Methods: Credit/Debit Card, PayPal, Checks (via GiveWP on this site)
📜 Receipts: Donors will receive an email confirmation for their contribution
🏛️ Business Sponsorships: Businesses may receive a tax write-off for supporting educational travel

📌 For specific tax questions, we recommend consulting a tax professional or checking with the school’s administration.
