Sponsorship & Fundraising
 

I am curious to hear stories from people who have managed to get other people to contribute to the cost of their trip or who have used the trip to raise funds for a particular cause.

I am planning a trip next year across Russia and would love to use it as an excuse to raise funds for a particular cause but I can't see what the upside is for potential contributors or sponsors other than their goodwill.

It is not as if I will make a charley / ewen style documentary that would publicise potential sponsors or contributors.

The check is in the mail!
 

I'm looking to give away money :welcome:- just tell me who to make the check out to, and where to send it.

Seriously
 

Seriously - I can happily afford to fund all my own adventures but I do see lots of people either with or seeking sponsors for similar trips. I am just curious about why people would sponsor these trips and how they hope to benefit from such sponsorship.

Hey there :-)

This question comes up quite often here so don't be too surprised if no-one answers it again!

If you do a quick search of the hubb you'll find quite a few threads covering this topic - in fact Alexlebrit gave a fantastic over-view of getting sponsorship over at

Hope that helps.

Also.... look down at the bottom of this page and you'll find a 'similar threads' box - again lots of good information there too.
