CoCoDa

CoCoDa requests an emergency grant to offset the financial impact of the Zika Virus on fundraising. The organization’s primary income stream comes from leading student service learning trips to El Salvador and Nicaragua. Following the increase of violence in El Salvador, many universities placed a travel ban to this country. CoCoDa adjusted accordingly and arranged for additional student trips to Nicaragua, however, many of these trips were also subsequently cancelled due to the Zika Virus outbreak. Additional monies at this juncture will provide bridge funding for sustaining activities as the organization diversifies funding streams.
