Fundraising can be a unique opportunity for new volunteers to engage their communities around Mexican social justice issues and build a common investment in the work they are about to do with CASA.   It is also a way for alumni to give back to the communities that they have shared their lives with and learned so much from.  A long list of fundraising options exists. 

Some people host events such as: 

A documentary screening of a Mexican film

A raffle of Mexican art

A benefit concert

An exhibit of revolutionary art from Mexico

A study group based on readings from Teaching Rebellion: Stories from the Grassroots Mobilization in Oaxaca

A dinner event

Some people sell merchandise such as t-shirts, postcards, DVDs, prints, or books.   And many people write letters to friends and families requesting a contribution in support of their work with CASA.   A sample fundraising letter is attached.

CASA coordinators are happy to discuss fundraising ideas with new volunteers and alumni.  Feel free to contact us at any time!
