executive director's message
each year solar cookers international (sci) receives thousands of
contributions from individuals, businesses, charitable foundations, church
groups, community organizations and other private-sector entities. some
donations are one-time actions, such as a foundation grant supporting a specific
program, while others represent the ongoing generosity of loyal sci supporters
and solar cooking enthusiasts.
whether in the form of a large grant or modest gift,
contributed income is critical to sci. it accounts for over 85% of our annual
income, the balance coming from retail sales of solar cookers and related
products.
contributions support sci�s efforts to spread solar cooking
and related technologies through activities carried out in one of our four core
areas — international program development, education resources, advocacy, and
humanitarian assistance. examples of these activities include: establishing
sustainable solar cooker programs in kenya; creating and maintaining web-based
solar cooking information resources; developing stronger ties to the united nations and world health organization;
and providing technical and financial assistance for refugee-based solar cooker
projects in chad that serve darfur refugees.
of course, all sci stakeholders — staff, volunteers,
beneficiaries — understand the importance of donor support. we strive to
acknowledge those who contribute to sci and honor their commitment by
maintaining full disclosure and transparency in the administration of our
programs and finances. providing financial and related data is one example of
how we meet our fiduciary responsibilities.
this financial summary report provides information for the
fiscal year beginning july 1, 2006 and ending june 30, 2007, including
information on revenue and expenses. also, the summary provides a list of donors
who contributed $500 or more to sci during that time period.
it is my pleasure to thank all sci donors and volunteers
for helping us with our mission to assist communities in using the sun�s power
for cooking food and pasteurizing water for the benefit of people and their
environments.
