Need advice for raising money for a study abroad trip.

Discussion in 'Coming Out Advice' started by SriManayaDasan, Oct 17, 2012.

  1. I'm currently saving money for a study abroad trip next summer to Salamanca, Spain for my Spanish minor.

    I'm doing school fundraisers to help raise money, but those really aren't going so well. To give you an idea of how much I have left to save, the trip costs around $5500 (plus tuition) and, through fundraising, I've only raised about $380. We do have another fundraiser coming up and the entire payment for the trip is due by March 1st of next year.

    I'm not here trying to get donations, but some advice on how I can increase my odds with fundraising would be greatly appreciated. There are websites like KickStarter and IndieGoGo, but people who donate there expect a tangible product in return.

    Any tips?
