FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
We have a great little sewing studio in St. Roch and a storage space in an Algiers warehouse, but these come with rental expenses and utility bills each month. If you donate to us financially, we'll not only use it to help us with these monthly expenses, but also to help us with our 2017 goals…an entrepreneurship program, and new methods to show kids how to re-purpose old threads.
We rely very little on grants, due in part to the cost of grant writing, but also, pending the state of the political climate, we didn’t want our funding to rely on grants.
Your financial donations help us keep the doors open.
Period.
We know you have many choices of wonderful non-profits that need help, and we are honored that you would consider ricRACK!
