Q: How can you do all that you do on 2% overhead?

A: We cannot continue to do so.  With the growing demands for help we have to expand our infrastructure.  Our 2007 budget will request that the Board of Directors approve a budget that will call for about 8 % administration and fundraising costs.  (8% based on current funding levels.)

Also, our costs are kept a minimum by simply keeping the costs down.  We do not have “office space”, we work from home.  Much of the work that is often hired by for-profit businesses is done by volunteers.  We have a great circle of local vendors that discount many services and supplies that we have to purchase.  All vehicle fuel is donated by SOCO Corp.  Continental Airlines donates most of our air travel tickets.
