Friends make a difference for EGEA

As an EGEAn, you must have seen what a wonderful platform it is. EGEA facilitates many good things: To make friendships across Europe, to create cultural awareness, to exchange geographical knowledge and so on. For many people EGEA is also a place to learn how to organise events, how to manage projects and how to lead a team. And to have this organisation running smoothly, financial resources are of a great importance! Especially because they are structural donations on which EGEA can count.

Monthly donations by the Friends of EGEA make it e.g. possible to support congresses, to contribute to people taking up leadership positions voluntarily and to make other activities happen (e.g. Training New Trainers, Organisation & Strategy Meetings, running the Secretariat). 

Reasons to become Friends of EGEA:

• Giving back to an association which organises many meaningful activities
• Knowing your money is 100% dedicated to EGEA
• Possibility to decide yourself to which category of expenses this money goes to (e.g. organisation/management, congresses/events, education/training etc.)
• Making EGEA more financially independent

Staying involved in EGEA (each year the Board of EGEA will send a small letter of gratitude to you with some highlights of the year)
