Welcome to Expensify.org's Justice Campaign!

We're so excited to partner with you to achieve your community goals. This page includes a full list of eligible expenses for the Mapathon campaign.

  • Click here to join the campaign policy and become a volunteer!
  • Below is a list of eligible out-of-pocket volunteer expenses, task payments, and behavior incentive payments.
  • When creating an expense for reimbursement, please be sure to locate the one you're submitting below and enter all the required information, or your expense will not be approved and paid.
  • To avoid any delays: If you believe that you have an eligible expense that is missing from this list, please reach out to your campaign manager (who approves your expenses) to get this updated first before you submit it to Expensify.org for reimbursement.
