Charity Expenses
As we experienced, a non-profit charitable organization, much like running a business, incurs various expenses such as legal, administrative, accounting, tax preparation, filing/reporting, operational, technology, and formation/setup costs.
We encourage Annual Memberships to help defray the inevitable costs of running a business.
Annual Memberships enable our other fundraising to be fully spent on programs and activities that benefit our members and our community. The charity is managed and operated entirely by volunteers; as such, the charity does not pay any members or salaries for their volunteer work. Therefore, the Annual Memberships are applied to the overhead to pay our general and administrative expenses.
