2023 | Executive Summary
This year has been one of strengthened collaboration and strategic realignment. We had the unique opportunity to bring the rest of the board to Vietnam, allowing us to deepen relationships with our strategic partners and more closely align our objectives. This hands-on engagement has given us a clearer understanding of the impact of our programs as we met with various partners and toured their initiatives. We are proud to report continued growth in our endowment, providing a stable foundation for future efforts. Additionally, we have made important shifts in our programs, including a renewed focus on keeping families together, reflecting our commitment to long-term, holistic solutions beyond basic care.
Highlights
The Budding Lotus Endowment continues to grow in line with major indexes and dividend growth continues to show strong resiliency.
Through collaboration, we have strengthened our partnership with other NGOs to considerably expand joint programs, some of which doubled in impact.
Our annual fundraising forecast was $30,000. We are grateful to have been able to surpass that amount for a total of $41,000, a 36% surprise.
