Where can my organization get the funds to attend a Model United Nations conference?
Funds can be obtained through a variety of means. Since many Model U.N. conferences are held at colleges and hotels, fees can range from $15 to $165 per delegate. This fee usually does not include transportation, meals, or lodging. In some cases, however, meals and lodging are covered. Some conferences offer early registration discounts, while others have late fees. Many model U.N. groups can try to request funds through their school’s administration to cover transportation and conference costs. Other groups can apply for scholarships, but these are usually limited to groups traveling abroad. Model U.N. clubs can attempt to request funds through their local UNA-USA chapters . Additionally, groups can try local organizations such as Rotary and Lions Clubs for support. Other ways to raise funds include monthly group activities, dance-a-thons, bake sales, car washes, and sporting events. Finally, check AMUN’s guide to fundraising for other ideas.
