Fundraising FAQs

• What is the CCF?

  • Every penny goes directly towards the project! This fee helps us buy materials, and hire workers in the field in order to construct the gravity-driven aqueducts and pit latrines volunteers help build for our benefiting communities. 

  • ​​Even if you have the financial means to pay the fee out-of-pocket, we want to challenge you to raise the funds instead. Gaining support from others for something you’re passionate about is a skill that everyone can benefit from learning. Besides that, by asking others to support your fundraiser, you are teaching more people about the water and sanitation crisis and inviting them to get involved. 

  • After our campaign ends on May 1, 2024, we’ll send 100% of your donations to the Dominican Republic to fund the water or sanitation project you will be working on!

• How do I start fundraising?

  • Here are the simple steps to starting a BLUE Missions Fundraising page:

    • Go to the according to the project you will be working on:

      • Water Projects Fundraising Page

      • Sanitation Projects Fundraising Page

      • Pico Duarte Trek Fundraising Page

    • Create your Individual Fundraising page

    • Spread the word

  • How much do I have to fundraise?

    • If you are on a water project, your CCF is $650. If you are on a sanitation project, your CCF is $450. If you are on a filter project, your CCF is $450.

  • If I fundraise over my CCF goal, can it be transferred to cover my trip cost?

    • Unfortunately, the answer is no. 100% of all funds collected on our fundraising platform go directly to funding our projects in the Dominican Republic. If you’d like to fundraise your CCF and trip cost together, you can do so just on a different fundraising platform such as GoFundMe. If you use GoFundMe, you will pay us directly according to our payment plan and can deposit the monies collected to your bank account.

• Can we choose our own charity to donate to?

  • Short answer, no. All funds donated to BLUE Missions fundraising pages goes directly to funding project costs in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua or Colombia.

    • In Nicaragua we partner with Agua Para La Vida and in Colombia we partner with Nueva Life and Water Aid.

• Can we mail in checks and cash?

  • If you have cash donations from events, please deposit the money into your own account and make an online donation to your "Fundraising Page” for the amount that you deposited, or write a check and mail in with the rest.

    Please make them out to “BLUE Missions” and you can mail them in to:
