Fundraising ideas
for sustainable development abroad programs

We’re aware that it can be rather daunting when faced with the prospects of raising the funds for your sustainable development trip abroad. GVI is here to help you put the fun into the process and to assist you as you work towards reaching your goals. We’ve highlighted a few ideas for you, as well as provided some advice and resources to use to help get you started.

Firstly, it’s important to realise that fundraising is enjoyable and is not as difficult as you might think. By considering the original reason that made you want to participate, along with the help of GVI’s No More Limits platform, we can start to create your fundraising story and get you on your way.

Get started
with your fundraising journey

The first step of getting started is to choose your GVI program. Once you’ve applied for the program, you will be guided through our steps-by-step process on how to set up your personal fundraising page on our No More Limits platform. From here you will be able to set up goals, share your progress and share your fundraising page with friends and family.

GVI’s referral program

Receive CAD 1,050 discount

Did you know that you can reduce your program fee by referring others to a GVI? If you refer a friend, who books within 14 days of your booking, you will both be eligible to a CAD 1,050 discount on your overall program fee. This is a great way to kick off your fundraising efforts. Talk to one of our enrollment managers about this and be sure to spread the word to your network as well.
