For BeWelcome it is actually as important – if not more important – to donate time. Please consider volunteering – may it be for an hour a day or an hour per month: Your time is more than welcome.Different teams need your time – please check out where you would like to help BeWelcome

You will be redirected to the secured PayPal website. There, you can donate using your credit card or PayPal account. At the end of the donation process, please click on the link to come back to BeWelcome. This helps us to keep our donation statistics up to date. Please note that these donations cost us €0,25 + 1,4% transaction fees, depending on your location and the amount you donate. We recommend to use bank transfer or Bitcoin and only use PayPal if those options are inconvenient for you.

The donation will be exchanged to Euro immediately and will be transferred as soon as the total amount of Bitcoin donations exceeds €20.

Within the SEPA-countries this type of donation will be free from transaction fees and is therefore preferred.

Why donate?

We love what we do and would not accept any payment for it. Unfortunately, not everyone accepts our motivation as payment. Sometimes BeWelcome needs the help of other partners like banks, our insurance company, server host or domain registrars.

That is why we make an annual budget so that we know how much we will spend on every subject, such as technical expenses, administrative costs or promotional activities.

We might run different donation campaigns (approved at the yearly General Assembly) to fund specific projects. This could include promoting BW during local events. We always try to make sure that this promotion will be based on the grassroots principal and will not be a commercial activity.

Receiving donations is not about making profit, it's about paying the bills. Yet donating is only one way to support the project. You can also help us by spreading the word, volunteering, and welcoming travellers in your home.

Transparency

We believe in transparency. Our accounts are published once a year to be checked and agreed on by the General Assembly of BeVolunteer. During the year the Board of Directors – and the treasurer as the responsible delegate – take care of financial matters and are also your contact persons for related questions.

If you're interested you can read our latest financial report, or look at the prospects for the next period. You can find more information about BeVolunteer's finances and accounts in the wiki library.
