We actively invite one-time or recurring contributions and routinely seek grants from institutional funders. Our primary source of funding is the generosity of individual and family donors who make unrestricted charitable contributions to support our functional expenses. We also require a minimum unrestricted donation of 5 cents and a maximum restricted donation of 95 cents on every pledge fulfillment dollar. We allocate the unrestricted Member Donation to our General Fund and put the contribution to use where it’s needed most.
