Over the last several months, new and veteran leaders of our organization have taken a fresh look at the operations and finances of this ministry. Here’s what they see:

• With societal progress, grant dollars are becoming harder to come by.
• Expenses are tightly controlled and several staff members remain at 80% time and pay.
• Including continued cost saving measures, and returning the staff to 100% time and pay in April, as of March 10, we have a funding gap of $176,621 to close before the end of our fiscal year, June 30, 2014.

To close that gap, today we are launching the Gifts of Love Campaign! We invite you to join us.
