Funding InformationLos Tainos activities and programs are maintained through two primary sources; fund-raising and, to a lesser extent, government funding. While fund-raising efforts are ongoing and strenuous, it is important to keep in mind that most of the members are advanced in age and are simply unable to raise large amounts of money.In addition, government funding has been very modes and less than adequate in meeting their actual fiscal needs. Therefore, it is safe to characterize the organization as poor. Thankfully, Father Belle provides space to the group at not charge, but even with this assistance, the organization is always struggling. Efforts to request funds from area foundations and corporations are underway to supplement their current funds. Most recently, Los Tainos has added a catering service, coined "La Mesa de Las Abuelitas" ( The Grandmothers Table) to generate revenue for its services. Donate OnlineComing Soon. |
