Finances Action for Life is co-ordinated and staffed entirely on a voluntary basis. The Action for Life 4 budget comes to approximately US$250,000 for seven months (a per person cost of US$6,000). This covers food, travel, accommodation and other program expenses for the 7 months. Participants are required to raise US$3,000 towards these costs as well as the costs of a return ticket, vaccinations, travel/health insurance and a six month visa to India. Emphasis is placed on selecting a range of participants from diverse racial and economic backgrounds. Many of them require financial support. AfL undertakes to subsidise the remainder of each participant's expenses. Some coming from countries with weaker currencies require additional support and scholarships are available for these participants. Costs are kept to a minimum through the generosity of local hosts and through travelling and living as simply as possible. AfL also gratefully acknowledges that it could not happen without the generous support of individual giving, grant funds, gifts in kind and IofC teams.
