Brochure - Frequently Asked Questions

Volunteers and those considering volunteering have many questions regarding food, clothing and shelter; health care; leisure time; money; trip requirements; work requirements; and what to bring on the trip. The Frequently Asked Questions brochure provides answers to these most commonly asked questions.

Brochure - Tri-fold

This is the tri-fold brochure used to provide basic project information to interested parties. It is intended to be printed back-to-back and folded in thirds. If you are not able to do that, simply printing it out will still get your point across.

Fundraising Letter & Flyer - DRAFTS

Each participating church is asked to consider a parishioner-based fundraising campaign in support of the project.

Historically, St Mark's has sent out such a Fundraising Letter with a Sponsor Form, Flyer, and pre-addressed return Envelope to its members. The letters below have been made available to those looking for ideas for their own campaign. The Flyer below has been included as 'food for thought' but is not required.

Note: If you decide to include all of the materials, be cautious of the total weight of the final package to be mailed. It is suggested that light-weight paper be used, the 2-page flyer should be printed back-to-back on one sheet of paper, and you may wish to enclose small versions of the Sponsor Forms.

Some have asked me to publish my abbreviated Fundraising Process guide to executing a fundraising mailing campaign. It is only a rough guideline, intended to illustrate how relatively easy it is to execute. You may download it here.
