Global Volunteers service program fees and airfare are tax-deductible for U.S. taxpayers who perform prescribed service work in the host community. We strictly adhere to IRS requirements for team members to devote a full work day to development projects, ensuring you'll qualify for this tax deduction.
Your service program fee includes direct financial support for the host communities we serve. Your contribution also covers:
- Project materials for use at the work site
- Your meals, accommodations, on-site travel (excluding airfare)
- Medical emergency evacuation insurance
- Team coordination and evaluation
Your entire contribution is applied to Global Volunteers' sponsored programs and community partner development, with 15 percent designated for administration and overhead. Significant budget efficiencies are obtained by amortizing administrative costs across our total program offerings. Global Volunteers solicits no religious or political funding.
