Payment options
If you plan to fundraise before sending in your money:
  1. Talk to your group and figure out what amount you think you can fundraise.
  2. Select the student you want to help.
  3. Give us the group's name and the contact person's name, address and contact information.
  4. We'll send the contact person a packet of information about the student you select and a form to send in with your first contribution. Remember, you have 30 days to send in your first contribution, and we only need $30 to get the sponsorship started.
  5. As soon as we receive your first contribution, we'll let your student know they have a sponsor and we'll send you information about how to write your new friend.
  6. We'll also send you a receipt and a way to make your next contribution.
If you already have some money to send:
  1. Select the student you want to help.
  2. Give us your name (or the group's name), address and contact information.
  3. Make your first payment.
  4. We'll send you a packet of information about the student you select and instructions on how to start writing to your new friend.
  5. We'll let your student know they have a sponsor.
  6. We'll also send you a receipt and a way for you to send your next contribution, if you haven't raised all of the money your student needs yet.
There are 3 ways you can submit money to support your student:
  1. If you would like to send a check, please combine all of the money raised at one time and send one check to:
    CFCA
    P.O. Box 805105
    Kansas City, MO 64180-5105
    note: Make sure to use the coupon we send you or put your CFCA ID in the memo line so we know that it's for your student!
  2. You can contribute online at any time by credit card or bank withdrawal.
  3. Or, you can set up to have your sponsorship paid automatically by credit card or automatic bank transfer, which basically means that we're authorized to withdraw $30 from your credit card or bank account every month. That way, you never forget to send in the support for your friend.

Please NEVER send us cash – it can be easily stolen in the mail which would be heartbreaking for you, and for us.

Also, if you're under 18, make sure you have the permission of your parent, guardian, or group leader.

If you have questions, contact us. We're here to help!

 

Your fundraising stories & pictures

Don't forget to send us your fundraising stories! We love to hear how you raise money for students overseas, and we could possibly feature your story on our homepage (if that's OK with you). People in other cities could use your idea and raise even more money for youth in developing countries. So, tell us your experiences! Send us an e-mail, pictures, video – anything! We can't wait to hear from you! stories@walkwiththepoor.org
