Bridging Gaps is a facilitator of customized, professional internship programmes, volunteer projects and educational courses in the dynamic city of Cape Town. We are an organisation that cares as much about your career as you do!
Overview
We collaborate with over 450 inspiring local organisations in Cape Town to find you the most suitable internship or volunteer placement based completely on your skills, interests and career goals. We are committed to providing each of our participants with a personal and holistic experience of the vibrant Mother City, as well as being dedicated to ensuring your adventure runs as smoothly as possible, from start to finish! We offer three affordable programme packages suitable for people looking for different experiences of Cape Town.
Sometimes it feels like the biggest obstacle to going abroad is financing your trip, but that doesn't have to be the case! Bridging Gaps has teamed up with FundMyTravel so that participants can make their very own fundraising pages online. This way, you have a creative platform to communicate personal messages, keep your audience engaged with your travel plans, and collect the funding to help make this experience a possibility.
With a simplified payment system, participants collect funds right to their secure PayPal or WePay account. There is a solid team of experienced travelers and professionals at FundMyTravel, who are here to offer campaigners support, including insights for fundraising success. You can check out a few tips below before clicking the button above, to get started!
FUND
Just like travel, fundraising is about an exchange - so whether you send them post cards, create a video-diary, start a blog, or grow a photo gallery - make sure to share these things with your networks in exchange for their donations and online support! You can check out more unique and creative ideas on our Fundraising Toolkit.
MARKET
Using Social Media, writing Personal Emails and sharing consistent Updates on your campaign are essential steps for reaching that fundraising goal. You can plan the most inspiring trip, upload a video about it, and complete your campaign with profile details, but it won't make a difference unless you tell everyone where to find it!
THANK
Be sure to thank any and everyone who contributes to your campaign either through funding, shares, or even just likes. Be sure to acknowledge your supporters through Facebook and Twitter shout-outs, fun and engaging videos, individual emails or messages, hand-written letters and they are more likely to spread the word on your campaign efforts.
