Charity Fundraising
3 Answers
I've recently been asked to sponsor two friends raising money for separate charities and in each case the person says they have to raise £5000 to be accepted on the challenge. One is aiming to climb M. Kilimanjaro and the other is desert trekking. To raise £5000 in itself is admirable and presumably they will continue to raise money until the feat is completed.
In addition to this initial £5000 will they have to supply even more cash to pay all the travel expenses etc that are obviously going to be required?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It depends on the charity - some say that part of your initial fundraising will be spent on the expenses of getting you to the location, etc. The initial amount is to prove that they have a commitment to the event, and that they have the support they claim to have. My friend did a walk to the foothills of Everest a couple of years ago, the same applied.
