Funding Needs

In our first two years, the Social Development Council received
generous funding contributions from the United Way, Vancouver _
Foundation and SHARE Family and Community Services. It was
initially hoped that our organization would be self-sufficient
within the two year period. . .

Our progess toward economic self-sufficiency has been solid, but
has proceeded. more slowly than originally planned. We are
building bases with potential funders, particularly the municipal
governments in District 43, but more time is needed to | |
Consolidate these relationships. In the méantime, we are running.
out of money. : a

Without emergency funding support, the Social Development Council.
will lose the staff services of a social planner. Although much.
of the work of the SDC can be accomplished by volunteers through ¢
the various issue-focused committees, the loss of this staff — |
position will greatly reduce the public profile of the Social |
Development Council, and will significantly limit the work which ©
can be accomplished. _ |
