(while funds remain)
By Clinton White | Director
This is an ongoing project intended to generate funds for our general fund. We were blessed with a significant end-of-the-year gift in December 2020 which significantly boosted the fund. Ideally, we would love to generate $1000/month in donations to fund the work of Shade for Children.
Being "General Funds" money, we can spend it towards any number of projects at our discretion. We saved 1/2 of the largest donation given in December for later projects, but we spent $2000 to fund a matching grant for another large project in which we're raising funds. We are raising funds to help a foster family purchase a used car.
Among other things, General Fund money helps cover the expense of weekly visits to regional orphanages. In addition to building genuine, long-term relationships with children and workers in those orphanages, it is during these visits that we gather material to include in our quarterly updates for "An Orphan's Prayer". General Fund money also helps pay for the online services needed to deliver An Orphan's Prayer such as our monthly subscriptions to ConvertKit and MailChimp. Just today, we emailed profiles of 22 children to nearly 150 subscribers.
We can't thank you enough. Your donations enable us to continue our work in Ukraine.
