Zambia Project donations and fundraising
The Zambia Project commitment
From its very beginning, the Zambia Project has been steadfastly committed to giving 100% of the monies raised to the Zambia Open Community Schools (ZOCS). All individual and group donations, and all funds generated from group projects, go directly to Zambia. Operating expenses (supplies, materials and printing costs) for the project are provided by the Student Government Association Allocations Committee. Travel expenses are covered by each traveler's private funds and by separate fundraising efforts of those who travel.
How is money raised for ZOCS?
The Zambia Project receives funds for ZOCS from three primary sources:
-
Individual donations - Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.
-
Group donations - Churches, civic organizations and school groups are encouraged to support the work of ZOCS through the Zambia Project. Zambia Project members are available to make presentations on the work of the project.
-
Zambia Project group fundraisers - Students and staff are continually involved in projects, ranging from working concessions at Lambeau Field to sponsoring an on-campus dance—the ZOCS HOP.
