Sustainability and Funding
CircusAid maintains a goal of transferring leadership of activities to local representation. By training local leaders in effective CircusAid practices, more people can participate long term. Simultaneously, we support local employment through providing means of professional development training and local paid skilled labor.
The project involves international and local circus artists, social circus educators, sustainable development engineers, partner organizations, university representation and occupational therapists providing free services for the refugee populations that participate in the project.
CircusAid Projects are funded through 3 channels:
Tax deductible donations through our fiscal sponsor Fractured Atlas
Holistic Circus Therapy Trainings and Social
Enterprise Integrated Business Model. See our next training here
Fieldwork student and participant volunteer
financial contribution through personal donation, sponsorship and/or crowdfunding
Part of the volunteer and student responsibilities include fundraising.
HCT/CircusAid provides all of the content needed for volunteers and students to launch their own crowd funding campaigns as well as provides support and guidelines in the process.
All volunteers and students are required to donate the full amount of money raised using CircusAid content to CircusAid projects.
Volunteers can contribute between €1000-€2000 minimum
for participation in CircusAid projects depending on the role they will be taking and logistical support needed by CircusAid staff. 2-4 week full time volunteers who require accommodation support must contribute €2000 to the project one month before their arrival to enable living arrangements to be coordinated.
