A little help ...

Financing the trip ... a little help from my friends
The trip is not for profit and any money collected will be used either to realize the journey and/or along the trip to help finance projects created during the trip with the people we meet (example seeds for a garden, materials to help build a chicken coop, repairing supplies for a fence, housing, … all of which are small expences not to exceed projects of $100)

Companies that wish to support the journey and contribute equipment will be offered equipement evaluations after 6 months of use (or as agreed upon), and given promotion materials either on a use as you see fit or exclusive documents for their products. The web site will mention all contributors.

Presently, in the planning stages, not for profit organizations are being contacted to see if we can contribute to their endeavor with this journey (document areas through pictures and reports, do actual maintenance work on trails, help others use the facilities, … etc). Possibly one will offer for us to use their tax deductible statute in collecting funds, in which case funds will be sent to their account directly and part of the collection will be used to finance this journey.

This web site will be promoted by various means (local newspapers, specialized magazines, radio interviews, sponsoring organizations … etc) and we expect, much as thewww.Mountains2Montreal.ca website to establish a solid following through our blog recounting life on the trail.

A specific account will be established in the name of LongEars2Chili and accounting done monthly publishing on this site both contributions and expences. When particular projects are financed a description of the project, budget and execution details will be published.
