Children's Hope International Foundation Annual report - 2004 Click a flag to view 2004 highlights in that country...
Dear Friends, Thank you very
much for your support of CHI’s humanitarian aid which helps us give homes,
health and hope to the children at risk in the countries where we work.
Without your help in 2004, we could not have completed 364 projects in 7
different countries. Isn’t it remarkable that your generosity enabled nearly one
project each day? Every one of
these projects affects individual children who receive more food, proper medical
attention, and a safe living environment because of your care.
We sincerely thank you. 2004 marked the
third full year of operation for Children's Hope International Foundation.
In the past 12 months, $1,072, 089.91 was distributed to the countries
where we work. This is 33% more
than what we distributed in 2003! On
the fundraising front, donations increased by 77%.
Because all administrative costs are covered by a third party (Children's
Hope International), we are able to distribute 100% of every donation for
humanitarian projects. With this money
we were able to:
You were very
active in participating in our events, visiting our website and responding to
our newsletters. Our first Concert
for Orphans and the Orphan Train of Hope began a new fundraising tradition for
CHIF in St. Louis. We enjoyed great
success through these fundraisers and plan to make them annual events.
Several other fundraising activities took place through our branch
offices across the country such as the Bering Strait concert in Nashville, and
the Holiday Gala in Chicago. We continued to
develop our website as our major information hub. Last year over 15,000 individuals visited our site, and
online donations quadrupled since 2003!
Our China and Russia Foundations were able to open their own national
bilingual websites, accessible through www.chifoundation.org.
We extend a special thank you to all of our Kid Ambassadors who raised
money from friends and family to help kids in need around the world.
Their photos and stories are also posted at that web address.
We organized
four direct mail campaigns in 2004 and published our first annual Wish Book to
help you choose the particular project that you wish to support.
Thank you for your quick response to tragedies that happened throughout
the year. You reacted immediately
to our requests for aid for the flood in Siberia, the Beslan school tragedy and
the recent tsunami in Southeast Asia. At the end of
our third year, we remain confident in your support. With your help we envision the launch of an immense project
in 2005 for children affected by HIV in countries where we currently provide
humanitarian aid. We want to
educate caretakers, provide money for appropriate medical tests for children,
and purchase medication for their transition to health.
In 2005, we will continue to improve our communication of information to
you, our donors, and with your help, increase our circle of friends who would
like to participate in our Foundation projects. With our
sincere appreciation, CHIF Foundation
