November Update

Dear ,

2010 is quickly coming to a close for us here at BECA and with it come certain anxieties.

Anxiety #1. Student survival. It's crunch time at the schools and we will find out in November (and in a couple of cases, December) how many of the students made it. We have our fingers crossed.

Anxiety #2. Sponsorship season. One of the difficult things about this operation is the looming presence of the unknown. A nonprofit never knows how many people will actually step up and chip in.

In the last two years December accounted for between 80% and 90% of individual donations received at BECA.

This can be a little nerve-wracking because BECA is 100% funded by individual donations.

No government grants (at least not yet). No foundation grants (ditto).

For the time being, this suits me just fine. I have a clear vision for the organization and don't want to answer to any third party institutions right now.

Thanks for staying along for the ride and believing in us.

Howard "Walter" Hunchak
