Donations
Ten Friends Project is dedicated to using donor money efficiently. We do not use money donated for projects on travel expenses and we have very little overhead. Rand and Mark are usually at the site when money is spent whether it’s for the sewing and delivery of a stretcher, the installation of a water filter, or the construction of a bathroom. We raise the money locally and we deliver it, hands-on, to our projects. In preparation for our next trip to Nepal, we have made fundraising goals. We hope you will contribute, in any amount, to these goals. Your donations to Ten Friends are tax-deductible (EIN# 30-0284653).

Travel Expenses:
All of our volunteers travel to Nepal at their own expense, airfare being one of the more costly items. We do not use any funds raised for the programs listed above for travel. However, if you would like to make a donation specifically to offset travel expenses this would be very welcome and appreciated. You can specify this on the donation form or the Network for Good web site (see below).
