Fundraising

Many friends and family have been asking me about how my fundraising is going. I thought I’d take a minute to explain on my blog how CDIA fundraises. Like all other NGOs (non-government organizations), CDIA relies on donations to fund the work that they do. Unlike many other NGOs, they do not require that those who work in the field raise a predetermined amount of money before they are able to serve overseas. When someone donates to CDIA the money is put together in one ‘pot’ so to speak and with the donated money the entire project is funded. More specifically salaries are paid, supplies are bought and repairs are made. A budget is created with the hope that if CDIA needs are made know and we are doing His Work the funds will come. CDIA will operate within the blessings it receives.

That being said, this year the budget has increased considerably with a third person (myself) being added to the payroll. As well, there are many students at the school who do not currently have a sponsor to pay their tuition and food expenses.

The Lord has greatly blessed CDIA financially in the past and we are confident that He will continue to bless us. We are extremely thankful to all the people who have made financial contributions in the past and who continually sponsor a child on a monthly basis.

As I mentioned on the side of the blog, if you are at all interested in making a contribution to CDIA or sponsoring a student at Adoration Christian School, please check out CDIA’s website to find out how to donate.
