AFS Fundraising Tools/ Sponsor an AFSer Featuring Aliyah Gamino
Sponsor an AFSer is AFS-USA’s signature fundraising tool, a FREE online platform for students to fund-raise towards their AFS program fee. Similar to online fundraising platforms such as GoFundMe and CrowdRise, students regularly update their blogs to be shared with family and friends. Any funds raised are applied directly to the student’s AFS finance account. If the student is unable to study abroad, donors are refunded.

Whether the student resides in your local area or across the country, consider sharing the AFS blogs for one of the students featured below.
