# What Happens if I Exceed My Donation Goal?

## What happens if I fundraise more funds than my Donation Goal amount?

On some occasions after their fundraising efforts, volunteers realize they have exceeded their [**Donation Goal**](https://info.globalbrigades.org/support/donation-goal?hsLang=en) and raised more than expected. Global Brigades considers these extra funds. When this happens, volunteers receive several allocation options, including saving their funds for a future Brigade. 

When a volunteer decides to save their extra funds for [**a future Brigade**](https://info.globalbrigades.org/support/recruitment-guide?hsLang=en), they inform their Program Advisor of their intention. They will have oneyear from the original Brigade date to join a program in which they may use the saved funds.

If the funds are not used in a program taking place within this one-year timeframe, Global Brigades will automatically allocate these extra funds to support its mission as needed.
