Managing Our Funds
Unlike many other non-profit organizations, Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver raises 90% of its own operating costs. Most of our funding is comprised of event revenue and proceeds from Big Brothers Renew Crew. The balance comes from monetary donations from our generous partners and sponsors.
People often wonder why a volunteer based organization needs funding at all. The reason is simple. Matching children with positive adult role models requires screening, training and monitoring. Given our vision is to put a mentor in the life of every child who needs one, funding plays an ever important role in our success as well as the development of children in our community.
How Funding is Utilized
Whether it be a dollar gained through The Bowl for Big Brothers Classic, The Whistler Golf Classic, a clothing donation or a gift from a supporter, we are committed to spending each responsibly and openly.
Funding is utilized by:
- Volunteer screening and training
- Monitoring friendships
