The International Solidarity Fund was created a few years ago with the aims of promoting exchanges between regions where there is currently little volunteer exchange and of increasing the numbers of volunteers who participate in South North exchanges, and to develop partnerships and capacity building of member organisations through the exchange of volunteers (reports on past projects).

Joining the Fund (see the document) is an act of solidarity and it does not necessarily mean that a given organisation will use the Fund in the following year… the money can benefit other organisations and the first one can also benefit from this money later on (list of organisations which have joined the fund).
