Financial Review

Christopher’s Haven is a relatively young organization so the primary activity has been organizing and developing a way to raise funds and searching for appropriate property. Until the summer of 2005, the organization was all volunteer. In spring 2005 funds for an executive director/fundraiser were donated and the organization began to expand its base and develop a community outreach and fundraising capacity. To date we have raised $300,000 in cash and pledges for the building fund.
Major funding sources for the past two years include:

• Major gifts from individual contributors
• Live and Silent Auction sponsored by McDermott Will & Emery 
• The Dannahower Family Foundation 
• Celebrate Children Silent Auction & Reception, Algonquin Club
• Home Entertainment Expo event
• Jane Akin Home Reception
• Jo Dee Mesina concert
• Joe Diffie concert
• Sean McConnon Home Reception
• Tracy Byrd/Kevin Millar Event/concert
• United Way
• Donations from Web Site
• Individual Donations
