The funding for this adventure is quite straightforward.
There are two funding options, depending on if you are electing to do this primarily as a charity venture OR if you have decided you just want to be involved and are happy to fund it yourself (Or maybe your partner/friends are doing it and you want to be involved in the adventure without the fundraising option...shame on you :-)
Funding Option A.
(To register as a participant on the Trek in a fund raising capacity.) Registration fee payable by you. £400
In addition to MINIMUM funds needed to be raised for Trek: £2500.
(60% of the funds raised goes to your designated charity, the rest underwrites the costs of your place on the Trek.)
Funding Option B.
(To join FireTrek on a self funding basis.)
Registration fee payable by you: £400
In addition to cost of completing the Trek by self funding: £1200.
(Upon completion of the challenge, FireTrek will donate a £100 to a charity of
your choice on your behalf and you may still wish to raise as much money as you
can to add to that amount.)
In both cases we request a registration fee of £400 on application.
This part is funded by you and is a donation towards the costs of the trip. It acts as a deposit on your flights, accommodation ect. It reserves you place on the Trek and as such is non refundable under any circumstances. Please bare this in mind before you apply :-)
(The registration can be split into 2 parts for easy payment. £200 is due as soon as you register on or after October the first and the other £200 is due January 31st 2007. If this still presents you with difficulties and you really want to join us on this adventure talk to us about other options.)
Secondly, £1000 (40% of the total figure to be raised) needs to be with us BY
July 31st 2007. (This portion of the sponsorship supports your participation in
the Trek and pays for all the costs incurred.)
If you are option B, this figure is £1200 by that date.
Finally, for those on option A: the balance due (£1500) which is to go to your designated charity needs to be collected in and accounted for by September the first 2007.
(This can be either in the form of a cheque made payable to your designated charity or by a letter from the head office of your charity reporting that the funds have been received by them.)
Please note: that for those on option A, you will not be classed as eligible to partake in the Trek until we have clearance that all monies have been paid to your charity.
