Help Support our Trips

 

UMAB raises over 50% of our funds through fundraisers and charitable donations. Your donation would make the trip more affordable for students and allow them to pay for a subsidized cost. 

​

All donations offset travel, lodging, and food costs for the trips. Monetary donations are allocated equally among trips. Listed below are itemized breakdowns for spring break trips to which your donations will contribute.

​
