The following steps must be completed before the Sponsorship Committee reviews the request:
STEP 1: The volunteer requesting sponsorship must first speak with their team leader of their intent to apply for sponsorship and request the Faith In Practice Sponsorship Application: Volunteer Application.
STEP 2: The team leader will discuss the volunteer’s role on the team, explain the sponsorship process, including requirements and expectations, and confirm that the volunteer understands that sponsorship only covers a portion of the trip fee.
STEP 3: The team leader will discuss the importance and use of the Share The Mission fundraising program. Please note that Share The Mission donations cannot be used to pay volunteer fees.
STEP 4: The volunteer is required to set up their personal Share The Mission fundraising page prior to submitting their request for sponsorship.
STEP 5: The volunteer and team leader must complete their portions of the request and send to Faith In Practice at teams@faithinpractice.org no later than 45 days prior to departure.
STEP 6: Once both forms are submitted, the Sponsorship Committee will review the request and will notify the volunteer and team leader when a decision is made.
STEP 7: If sponsorship is granted, it is the volunteer’s responsibility to: 1. Pay any remaining trip fee balance(s) prior to departure. 2. Complete and submit the post-trip report within 45 days after the trip.
