Volunteer Expense Policy
In accordance with Carleton College policy, volunteers may receive gift credit and/or reimbursement of expenses incurred while conducting College business. While volunteers are strongly encouraged to contribute their expenses, the College does not wish to limit the participation of any volunteer because of financial restrictions. Donated expenses will be treated as unrestricted gifts to the Alumni Annual Fund.
You can donate or be reimbursed for the following expenses:
- Air Travel: The cost of your 30-day advance-purchase round-trip coach airfare. (See our FAQs to find out how you can receive a discount.)
- Transportation between the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport and campus: Round-trip cost of transportation up to $90. (See our FAQs for more information on transportation.)
- Car Travel: Mileage between your home and campus at 14.5 cents per mile, or the cost of a 30-day advance-purchase round-trip coach airfare, whichever is less.
Food and lodging are not reimbursable as the College is providing all meals and rooms in the residence halls for all volunteers.
To donate your expenses or receive reimbursement, complete the Statement of Volunteer Expenses and return with your receipts to:
