BUDGET ALLOCATION AND GRANT DISTRIBUTION
Board members raise funds via donations by friends and family, grants,
corporate sponsorship and special fundraising events , including the
Foundation Golf-athon held annually in April. In FY2008 the Foundation
will provide more than $70,000 in contributions and grants. Administrative
and fundraising expenses are less than 10% of funds raised (this
includes fees for incorporation
and fees for filing with the IRS). The Foundation does not reimburse
board members for the cost of trips to Thailand to visit the schools
and orphanage.
