We need your help! (always)
As our exposure and reach accelerates, our demand does too, and thus, so do our needs and costs.
We're creating amazing new connections for a steady supply of equipment, which is great news for our applicants, but at the same time our tiny storage locker is getting full, we're using more and more consumables, stationery and repair parts, and as we set up new donation points out of our area (watch this space!) our fuel costs are creeping.
Plus, although we have accounted for 950 internet ready devices, our throughput also includes hundreds of uncounted monitors and speaker sets, and we now need to put money aside for the electrical testing of these in future, which we've had for free up to now.
Inevitably, as time goes on, overheads will only rise.
What started out as one man's hobby has rocketed to a credible, reputable, up-and-coming registered charity, far beyond original expectations, You can be a part of that journey if you appreciate what we do, but although endorsement and word of mouth are vital, we're starting to become strapped for cash, and we desperately need a bigger boat.
Will you give up a take-away a month and put your name to our project, to help us smash that first 1000, and go on to change lives far beyond that?
Our funding model is somewhat unconventional in that it's purely donation based and not grant funded, and we rely on monthly sponsorships for sustainable income, generously pledged by businesses and individuals who believe in what we do and are keen to boast a hand in the outcomes we're generating, opportunities we're creating, and lives we're changing.
It's minimal administration for everyone involved, and avoiding the delays and uncertainties of grant applications means we can put that money to use straight away, and without any pre-requisites on how we're allowed to use it.
We offer regular promotion through a share of our audience, and accounts updates so you can see how we're spending your pledge.
