Please get approval from a member of our admin team for reimbursement before incurring any expenses on behalf of Distribute Aid. Money is tight and most of our funding goes towards supply-chain operations, grassroots infrastructure, and expected administrative expenses. We cannot guarantee that expenses will be accepted / reimbursed without prior approval.

Reimbursable expenses (with pre-approval) usually fall into the following categories:

Procurement, storage, shipping, customs fees, and other supply-chain / logistics expenses to source & move aid. This includes training for our operations team, for example to ensure compliance with national & international regulations when moving Dangerous Goods.
Cost-of-living stipends to support our full-time volunteer team members (with an appropriate invoice from the volunteer).
Travel expenses to meet new / existing partners, evaluate projects, setup infrastructure, or represent DA and our network of grassroots partners at conferences & events.
Administrative expenses, such as office supplies, tech tools & services, and professional services (legal, accounting, etc).
