Yes, our volunteering activities require a donation contribution fee to support the program, which also includes donations for beneficiaries. The amount varies depending on the type of activity and can be found in the activity description.

These volunteer activities require operational expenses such as materials, equipment, team coordination, and documentation. As a community-based organization, we do not yet have a permanent sponsor to cover all these costs.

Therefore, participants are asked to provide a donation contribution so that the activities can run smoothly and sustainably, and also as a sign of commitment to attend.

We understand that in other organizations, volunteer activities may not require a participation fee, and that is also a great approach. The model we currently use is shared contribution to ensure the program can continue running and deliver real impact.

The donation contribution is paid after you complete the registration form and are selected to join the activity. The payment method is via bank transfer to FoodCycle Indonesia under the name:

Yayasan Daur Pangan Nusantara.

BCA – 319 017 1034
