How can I help?
Please consider supporting our Tucson AMIGOS. We are funded by
contributions from community members, corporations, and foundations.
The cost to send each volunteer on their summer assignment is
broken into two parts:
1. Family Fee:
Each volunteer and
their family are required to pay a fee which is used to defray the
expenses for their domestic and international airfare, local training,
supplies, and emergency services.
2. Volunteer Fundraising / Community Support
The Tucson chapter
depends on you to help us by supporting our volunteers.
A. You can consider making a donation to the program.
Donations are used to cover the costs of supplies and support staff
while the volunteer is in country. For example:
| $25 |
Provides nails and roofing material for
one storage shed in Honduras

replace (dangerous) open kitchen fires

B. Attend our Annual Fiesta!
This popular event includes
food, drink, a silent auction and the opportunity to get to know
our amazing volunteers.
C. Consider inviting some
Amigos to speak to your group. We've
gotten very positive feedback from groups who've enjoyed the
presentation and see what tomorrow's leaders are doing.
AMIGOS is a 501(c)3
organization, as defined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Code.
Please consider making a
donation in support of the 2008-2009 Tucson AMIGOS!
