World Youth Day launched a new site called http://www.muchasgracias.info/, which is designed to process donations from individuals who want to contribute financially to WYD.
With just one click, donors can decide exactly how they want their donation to be used: decorations for religious ceremonies, transportation for the disabled, assistance for youth from poor countries, or one of over fifty other options. Borja Ezcurra, WYD Director of Sponsorships, stressed, "It is not only important to help World Youth Day, but to also feel part of it." The website is available in both English and Spanish.
WYD is financially supported by two pillars: the contributions of the participants which makes up two thirds of the cost of the event and assistance from companies and individuals, which covers the remaining one third.
