Frequently asked questions

If you have challenges with these payment mechanisms, we encourage groups of people to donate together. For example, AIESEC in the Czech Republic, Germany, Mauritius, and the Netherlands have made group donations. Many MCs are gathering amounts together, either to transfer or to bring to International Congress. 

Note: As always, when transferring funds to any account, please make sure to check that it is valid and will be used for the intended purposes. 

Is there a deadline to donate?

Yes, our goal is to raise all 78,000 EUR by September 2013. At that time, she will be ready for the surgeries for her arm. However, these cannot start if the fundraising goals have not been met.

I am a member. How can I help? 

Please Donate. Then please reach out to everyone in the AIESEC network, including members, friends, partners, and parents. We know that Irma could have been any of us --and then our friends, partners, and parents would be relying on this network to help. If every member donated two euros, we would meet the goal. 

I am a partner or AIESEC parent. How can I help?

Are there special campaigns for donations?

Globally, we recognise all donors over 500 EUR as "Irma's Fortune 100." 

Nationally, many local and national committees are also running campaigns to raise funds for Irma. You can post yours in the Facebook comment box below!

What is Irma's Fortune 100? 

We realised that the fundraising goal could be nearly achieved with 100 donors of 1000 EUR each. So, Irma's "Fortune 100" is a recognition of all donations over 500 EUR. AIESEC partners, alumni, members, local committees, and member committees are all eligible to be in the Fortune 100. 

How will we meet the goal? 

If every member donated two euros, we would meet the goal. 

If 10% of our living alumni donated two euros each, we would meet the goal. 

If 150 people or entities could raise 1000 EUR, we would meet the goal.
