Every year we select one charity that the guests offer financial support to. Most guests give 1000 USD (per week, not per person). Please be informed that giving to charity is not a prerequisite for getting to stay on the island (every year some guests get to stay even if they can not afford to give to charity), but being willing to give to charity does increase your chances of getting to borrow the island.
