Paying it Forward
In the spirit of gratitude for being able to partake in a TNT experience, our participants pledge to "pay it forward" to the next participant through their own grassroots fundraising efforts. Each participant pledges to raise a minimum of $1200** before and/or within 3 months after their trek, and we help them through setting up a personalized fundraising website and brain storming possible event ideas. It cannot be stated enough how important this pledge means to TNT's sustainability.
We know that people generally give to other people vs. organizations and that peer to peer grassroots fundraisers receive higher donations ($15 on average) than other types of fundraisers. A person who creates his or her own fundraising event (such as “I’m swimming between two lighthouses to raise money for TNT!) is considered a grassroots fundraiser. |
