The Raffle
Hi! My name is Alexa DiCostanzo. I'm a Dartmouth '19 and I believe that grassroots leaders know best how to alleviate poverty in their communities. I am passionate about supporting global development goals with community-led solutions that will endure for generations and empower the people they serve.
That’s why I'm raising $60,000 USD with a group of 11 young women to support our twelve partner organizations in their response to the immediate and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. 100% of money raised through this raffle will go directly to community-led initiatives in Guatemala, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana, including Queen Elizabeth Academy. Funds will be used towards emergency relief and to provide ongoing operational support as these organizations rebound from the challenges of COVID-19. Your contribution will enable our partners to continue implementing the strategies that strengthen their independence, growth and resilience. Please consider supporting their efforts with the purchase of a raffle ticket. Thank you.

The Prize
Visa Gift Card - $300
Financial freedom means greater empowerment. Unrestricted funding gives community-led organization leaders the most control over the design and implementation of their projects.
We’re raffling off a $300 gift card because we believe everyone should have the option to spend, save, donate, & invest as they wish during this unpredictable time.
Prize will be available electronically or by mail.
