GO Trip Donations
You voluntarily commitment to fundraise, and/or thereafter pledge to donate the remaining or full amount per person as advertised for the GO Trip in order to participate on a GO Trip team. Your voluntary donation pledge covers your all-inclusive emergency travel insurance, training, flights and in-country transportation, translators, meals, and accommodations. You can help cover your total donation pledge amount by fundraising, and we will provide you the tools to do so. If you raise funds over and above the donation pledge amount, the additional funds will go towards the respective GO Trip’s ministry work.
Each participant is responsible for their own passport and visa fees, travel to/from the airport back home, immunizations, travel medications and medical-documentation fees, additional baggage, or other personal incidentals and leisure activities arranged during the GO Trip.
Any incurred expenses and arrangements beyond those of the usual GO Trip itinerary are handled by the Participant directly. The additional costs incurred for customized elements will be paid by Participant directly to the vendor wherever possible. These additional expenses will not be included in the income tax receipt the participant will receive for the GO Trip donation, as they are outside the scope of the GO Trip itinerary, and not eligible for a tax receipt in accordance with CRA regulations.
