Perhaps not a very interesting post here, but helpful for those of you who are considering donating toward my trip. The following is the information about where the money toward my trip goes, and the deadlines I need to raise the money by.
Financial Breakdown
- 75% Program Expenses: Includes direct and indirect costs such as training camp, intercontinental traveling, food, lodging, transportation, etc.
- 7% Administrative Expenses: Includes all expenses such as our Accounting, IT, Human Resources, Donor Relations, Marketing and Development departments
- 9% Program Development: Includes the general World Race fund to grow the program and our international relationships
- 9% Medical Insurance: Required by Adventures In Missions, ensures medical attention is possible if necessary, all across the world.
