GLOBAL VILLAGE FUNDRAISING GUIDE

How will the extra money raised be spent?

All funds raised over and above the cost of your cost will be used directly for the Global Village program.

e majority of the funds will go to the host program, which will use it to build more homes and strength-

en its in-country e orts. A small portion will go toward enhancing programs within Global Village, such

as additional training of leaders, improved customer service and better web tools and resources.

How much should I set as my fundraising goal?

We recommend you set a goal that feels like a stretch but is do-able. For some people, this is $250 above

the cost of their trip. For others, it is $25,000 or more. Every dollar makes a huge di erence in the coun-

tries in which we build. And every person you touch through your fundraising e orts learns about the

importance of our mission.

First, we recommend that you read pages 4 through 10 of this fundraising handbook and think about

a goal that feels right for you.

ings to consider in setting your goal:

sor through your fundraising e orts? (A door? A wall? An entire house? Ten houses?)

friends, neighbors and local businesses. Roughly how many people will you ask, and for how much?

Most of all, be willing to amaze yourself!

I have no idea how to raise money. How do I start?

Read our fundraising handbook to get started. Join or listen to a recording of a fundraising training

call with key sta and leaders in the Global Village program.

But the best way to start is to start with the idea that is most exciting and easiest. Have faith that you

you don’t see the whole staircase. ”
