This has been a different year altogether. We would have celebrated our 32rd season of homebuilding but because of COVID we were unable to build as the border closed and lockdown went into effect in Mexico. Over 300 volunteers were scheduled to join us this summer to build homes for 20 families.
As we prepare for the last quarter of 2020, our needs are greater than ever due to 40% loss in homebuilding revenue because of COVID-19. Your contribution is critical for us to continue our mission providing education and a safe home for the boys of St Innocent Orphanage.
Right now, we are planning for Christmas as well as finishing the details for the annual report that is sent to each of our supporters. One of the programs that has enabled our success over the past several years is our Annual Matching Grant Challenge. We pray to make our goal of securing $650,000 in matching grant sponsorships to raise the full amount of our annual operating budget of $1.3 million by December 31st.
We hope to not only inspire a gift this year but a commitment for 2021 as well. This way we can inspire a gift this year and a commitment for next year from our donors that will enable us to survive 2021.
We encourage you to become an Annual Matching Grant Donor.
Or, if you have the means to become a sponsor with a commitment of $75,000, $50,000, $25,000 you can make a critical impact on our organization!
With your support, we will survive these uncertain times and secure the ministry for 2021.
