Terms and Conditions

All payments, both for trips and donations are non-refundable.

Any team member may seek 100% tax-deductible contributions to fund their $1650 Costa Rica or $2650 Colombia trip fee. This means that any person attending a trip may solicit donations using our EIN number and people who support them will receive an end-of-year receipt for their tax-deductible contribution (mailed each January for the previous year). Tax-deductible donations to cover your $1750 Costa Rica or $2650 Colombia trip fee should be given directly to COL and never be held by an individual, church, or entity that does not distribute 100% of the money collected on your behalf.

100% of the trip costs should be paid at least 45 days prior to departure date, unless prior arrangements are made with Corner of Love Trip Coordinator.

All trip participants must be 18 years or older unless accompanied by a parent or other guardian. Permission to travel with a guardian other than a parent must be discussed with Corner of Love’s Director/Team Leader prior to completion of this application.

Corner of Love reserves the right to reschedule the trip, when extreme circumstances require.

In the event that a participant cannot go on a scheduled trip and has made partial or full payment, and/or if the participant raises funds in excess of the trip costs, the funds received by COL will go to support the Relief Center for Nicaraguan Refugees and/or other program costs as determined by COL.

Each participant must bring to Costa Rica/Colombia:

$100 envelope for Costa Rica spending money for tips/Left Right Center game/ice cream/treats in town (all optional)
$75-$100 for spending money
Items listed on the COL’s “What to Bring List”

Each participant must agree to submit to the leadership and authority of the in-country hosts and/or Leaders of Teams.

Any participant that engages in disrespectful or extremely difficult behavior, undermining in-country systems, or failure to comply with COL guidelines, privacy policy, treatment schedule, or other medical protocols will return to Liberia and finish their stay at an airport-area hotel at their own expense. All COL guidelines, policies, and treatment protocols may be requested at any time from info@corneroflove.org.

Each participant will be required to wear a COL provided t-shirt on given days. The trip coordinator will let you know which days will be required – do NOT wear on travel days.

Sharing our team’s efforts and stories with donors is important. By signing this application, you hereby give permission to COL to use your photograph(s) in newsletters, on our website, and/or other sites or materials UNLESS you provide a written request to us stating otherwise.

Each participant is encouraged to help raise funds for the team’s activities and the organization but this is not a requirement. We encourage use of online platforms such as mightycause.com or facebook. On all sites, Corner of Love should be chosen as the payee (EIN No. 36-4612230). Many team members pick a specific project to fundraise for above and beyond their own trip cost. Please visit our website or contact our office for more information on current fundraising projects. By signing this application, you understand that all donations should be mailed or given directly to COL and that contributions are 100% tax-deductible.

Each participant agrees to take two 50lb pieces of cargo luggage filled with mission supplies to Costa Rica/Colombia. In Washington state, cargo is inventoried and packed by COL, then assigned to travelers. Outside WA, COL staff or team leader instructs volunteers on how to pack donated items into two bins, donated suitcases, or duffel bags. Personal items are always packed in carry-ons, such as one backpack and small suitcase.

Each participant must thoroughly read their team materials distributed by trip coordinator and sign any required pages. This will be sent directly to team members prior to departure date.

Each participant agrees to pay close attention to facility rules, which will be explained upon arrival; including but not limited to the following:

No smoking in buildings
Exterior doors and windows are to remain locked if you are not in your room
Individuals who are not registered team members may not be invited to mission property or enter the premises.
Flip-flops or shoes must be worn at all times. No bare feet allowed.

I have read all of the above statements under “Terms and Conditions” and agree to them.*
