Our VolunTourism Model

A Mother’s Wish foundation initially raised enough funding to build our facilities and operate our foundation for 8 years.  We now rely on three sources of funding:

  1. Ongoing donations: Past volunteers, who have witnessed the impact we make first hand, often sign up to make a monthly donation
  2. VolunTourism: We now ask new volunteers to make a donation, that is less than what they would invest in a typical Caribbean vacation, as part of their visit with us.
  3. Matching Funds: One of our greatest supporters has agreed to match 100% of the donations we receive through our VolunTourism program. That multiplies your donation by two!

It costs less than $50,000 per year for our organization to save lives and change lives here in the Dominican Republic.  With matching funds, we’re able to fund a large portion of our operating budget through this program.
