BlueMUN is proud to be a Top 50 Model UN team in the world with delegates who are not only enthusiastic about diplomacy but also are driven, cooperative, and empathetic people. While attending conferences costs money, we believe that Model UN should never be a pay-to-play activity. We are committed to subsidizing the costs of conference registration, lodging, transportation, and team bonding activities so every team member can participate fully without financial stress. To do that, we need your help! Please consider making a donation to BlueMUN on March 16th. Donations are not active until that date, but you can read more about our team’s mission and fundraising goals using the link on our website’s homepage.

Happy Giving Tuesday! Our team members are highly successful at conferences and are also engaged members of the campus community and the community of Ann Arbor at large. BlueMUN doesn't just promote international education; our members embody the values of cooperation, empathy, and determination in everything they do. Participating on the collegiate Model UN circuit comes at a cost, but BlueMUN is committed to inclusivity and strongly believes that participation should never be pay-to-play. We are committed to subsidizing the costs of conference registration, lodging, transportation, and team bonding activities so that students can fully participate in our organization without financial stress, but we need your help! This Giving Tuesday, BlueMUN asks for your kind donation to our team which will allow our members to continue pursuing their passions for international affairs regardless of their ability to pay. There is a button to donate on the homepage of our website, which is linked in our bio. Thank you for your generosity!
