How does Humanitarian Notes support its activities?
Humanitarian Notes was incorporated in June 2007 and received its tax exempt 501(c)(3) status in November 2007. Humanitarian Notes plans to commence fundraising activities under its organizational name in 2008. Fundraising efforts will include grant-writing, sponsoring benefit concerts and events, making requests for in-kind support, and soliciting website donations. The work will be conducted by board members (without compensation) and unpaid volunteers. The estimated total budget for each of the next two years is $25,000. Based on past projects, funding will be divided almost equally between individual donations and grants. The NamibiAlive campaign was funded by PEPFAR ($3,000), GTZ ($3,000) and private individuals ($5,000). We will also benefit from the in-kind support of individuals and corporations.
