Children of the Dump Special Request
by Sr. Fox on Mon May 12, 2008 5:33 pm
I just got this from Art,
The Mexican government introduced a new grant program (VIVE) to charities which have been approved by the government and can meet the matching requirements under the program. Children of the Dump (Desayunos Para Los Niños de Vallarta A.C.) will receive $50,000 US/CDN if it can raise $30,000 US/CDN in matching funds. The matching funds must be deposited in a special bank account 30 days after the program has been formally approved. If the matching funds are not deposited in that account within the time period, the government will withdraw their funds.
IN ORDER FOR THE CHILDREN TO RECEIVE THE GRANT OF $50,000 US/CDN, THE MATCHING FUNDS MUST BE DEPOSITED BY JUNE 30, 2008.
The total funds of $80,000 will effectively fund all of our programs through the end of 2008. The funds will be expended as follows:
1. $20,000 US Buildings (Construction & refurbishment)
2. $ 5,000 US Playground (Refurbishment & maintenance)
3. $10,000 US Transportation (Operations and maintenance)
4. $10,000 US Maintenance (All facilities)
5. $10,000 US Special Diet for Children
6. $10,000 US Day Care Centers (Equipment replacement & refurbishment)
7. $ 5,000 US School of Champions (Facilities improvement)
8. $10,000 US Additional computer and media equipment
We need your support in order for us to receive the government funding. The Mexican government has finally recognized our efforts over the past 10 years in helping the children and offered this opportunity to receive funds under the VIVE program. Without your help we lose the $50,000 which will limit our growth and our ability to help these children.
PLEASE SEND YOUR DONATIONS TO: CHILDREN OF THE DUMP
