Facts and Figures
|
The year 2007 was very successful for us at Mission Teaching Foundation. Between cash donations, handicraft sales, church appeals and sponsor gifts, we were able to raise a total of $705,144.
Our administrative expenses, including management expense, fundraising costs, compensation and everything else, totaled 10.9%. We were able to put $360,907 into the education program in Chiapas, Mexico, and appropriate technology in agriculture for the Mayans. We were able to contribute $267,335 to our capital fund. This is our endowment fund for future scholarships and to keep our commitment to those already in school. We hope one day to have a sufficient endowment to be able to continue our education program in perpetuity.
Our partnership with the indigenous non-profit, Yashalúm, has enabled them to reach out beyond MTF and form relationships with Airline Ambassadors, Global Pediatric Association, the Canadian Embassy, the Embassy of New Zealand and the Sisters of Mercy.
We hope to increase our fundraising during the remainder of this year. One of our dreams is work more directly with education in the poorest Mayan villages where the elders have requested help for computers, library books, school supplies, classrooms, tutoring and financial support for the public school teachers.
Mission Teaching Foundation works very hard to minimize our administrative expenses in an effort to put as much money as possible into our projects in Chiapas. We thank you for your generous support in 2007. We hope our students will be able to count on your continuing help in 2008.
