Funding the expedition
As Frontier is a non-profit organisation it is essential that volunteer Research Assistants like myself raise sufficient funds to cover the cost of the expedition. I currently need to raise £2200 in order to fund my part in the expedition. Costs not included in this are flights, Visa, insurance and equipment. I hope to cover these costs myself with money earned from temporary work over the next couple of months.
In order to raise the £2200 I have
started to organise charity events such as a sponsored walk, charity gigs and an
evening ball in my home town. For details of these events click
here.
However, in order to raise the full amount needed I may be relying on kind donations from individuals and companies. The money is assured to be put to positive use in my work on the expedition helping in the conservation of a beautiful and important threatened eco-system. If any amount is raised over the necessary £2200 I pledge to donate this to Frontier and The Society for Environmental Exploration and the positive work that they continue to undertake.
Apart from sponsoring a good cause, any donations will be greatly beneficial to the donating body. With permission I will use the donating company's logo on all future stationary, allow for advertising and logo's on my website (and provide relevant links their websites), and publicly thank them for their donations at my charity events and publicity in the local media.
I am also open to any offers of sponsorship including an overall sponsor of my expedition and the wearing of sponsor t-shirts and clothing in the field.

When is funding needed by?
As I have applied and been accepted for the next expedition in June time is of the essence and I need to raise funds urgently. Donations are needed within the next two months. Any donations after this period will still be kindly accepted and put towards future work of Frontier and The Society for Environmental Exploration.
All sponsorship/donations are massively appreciated whether the be large or small.
Thank you for your generosity. Matt Stead March 2003.
