What happens if all places are filled by the time I apply?
Your booking form and registration fee will be immediately sent back to you unless you want to sign up for another challenge in the same year.
-
Can I get sponsorship from overseas?
Yes, we can accept sponsorship in foreign currencies, by cash, cheque, draft or bank transfer although any bank conversion charges will be deducted from your sponsorship total. It is better to send a larger donation rather than several small ones to reduce these charges. See Bank Wire Transfer details in the Downloads section for more information on the G4G Bank Account.
-
How much of the money I raise will go to the Gulf for Good Charity project?
An average of two-thirds of all funds raised will go to the Charity projects depending on the challenge and the number of participants. One-third will go towards trip expenses such as flights, stay, food etc.
-
What happens if I can’t raise the money?
75% of the fundraising target must be raised 4 weeks before and the remainder no later than1 week before departure. If you cannot raise the minimum sponsorship you will be liable to forfeit your right to participate in the event and lose your deposit. If you do experience difficulties, help is at hand so please phone us as soon as possible. The participants pack contains plenty of fundraising tips and good ideas.
Generally fundraising in the relatively well off (and tax free!) community in the Gulf has not been a major problem.
