Drive To Survive

Special Missions Foundation is now engaged in a mission critical support opportunity. Over the 8 months:

We’ve provided over 250 hours of administrative services and organizational development to one of our Affiliate Partners over the past 8 months;
We’ve provided administrative support with registrations for Conference on Honduras;
We’re provided a ‘pass-through’ for contributions to fund organizations serving outside the United States;
We’ve welcomed 4 new Affiliate Partnerships into the fold of the SMF umbrella – Urban Promise serving in Copan Ruinas, The Burma Connection serving in Myanmar, El Maestro en Casa serving La Esperanza area, and Fundacion Sindrome de Downs based out of San Pedro Sula;
We’ve provided $6,500 to Helping Honduras Kids providing resources of school books for the children in their orphanage;
We’ve provided free consulting for numerous NGO’s serving internationally;
We’ve been a source of information on Disaster Relief in Honduras and Costa Rica;
We’ve linked scores of organizations to resources of all types within the last 8 months;
We’ve been affiliated with organizations making national and international notoriety in many forms of media venues;
We’ve had a constant, fresh presence in 5 different social networks garnering hundreds of ‘followers’ to our posts and website;
We’ve had US-wide press on SMF related projects through VOSH International, Rotary International, and the ADA News Magazine;
We're impacting the lives of multiple thousands of marginalized people in developing countries around the world through our Network Members and Affiliate Partnerships.

And now, we're in need of funds to continue our efforts at this level. We're seeking donations to sustain our operational budget ensuring Special Missions Foundation is available to assist organizations serving around the world. Please help us secure the future for the hundreds of organizations that are making a very tangible difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
