When working with the applicants, we encourage them to explore AFS's fundraising tips and a fundraising tool that we offer to help them raise funds to contribute to their program fee, which is called Sponsor an AFSer.
You can visit the fundraising FAQ page on the AFS-USA website for more information and ideas.
You can encourage students to utilize Sponsor an AFSer, our FREE online fundraising tool, similar to Go Fund Me, allowing students to fundraise using their personal networks (friends, family, school). The donations are applied directly to the AFS program fee.
Do you have questions, or stories of students who have been successful with their fundraising? Contact Adriana Miladinovic at amiladinovic@afsusa.org.
