IN WHAT OTHER WAYS CAN I HELP?
We are always in need of supplies! If you are planning to volunteer with us or are simply visiting the Santa Marta area we welcome donations of school supplies, musical instruments, books, sports equipment, clothing, or medical supplies. We deeply appreciate any help big or small!
We encourage donors to buy these items locally whenever possible (all the above are easily available in the city) to support the economy of Santa Marta. If in doubt as to the availability of the supplies you'd like to donate, please contact us.
SUGGESTED DONATIONS
70USD: This is the requested, one time donation of our volunteers. This helps pay for the modest salary of our local coordinator (The only paid staff member of FMA), as well as building maintenance costs and utilities, academic materials, and general school supplies.
50+USD: If you are not able to come and volunteer with us, any amount donated helps and is greatly appreciated! This contribution would go towards funding of the expansion and growth of FMA, and creating funds to hire more staff such as...
-
A long-term Fundraising & Marketing Coordinator who will work in creating sustainable funding and resources for the foundation.
-
A licensed, local teacher to be installed in the learning centre in Barrio Fundadores.
More examples of how we could use your donation...
20USD: Academic workbooks, new pencils, art supplies (Scissors, Glue, Paint, Etc)
10USD: New soccer ball for our weekly DÃa de Deportes (Sports Day)
thank you!
We will send you a donation receipt and a thank you letter, either electronically or through the mail whichever you prefer. The donations are included on our monthly balance sheet, which you can check out by clicking here.
We truly appreciate all the support we continue to recieve. Without dedicated supporters like you Fundación Mariposas Amarillas would be unable to continuously provide education and aid to the children and families of Santa Marta's neighborhoods.
