CAICW General Fund
Want to Help? – The primary need is for families affected by ICWA to have funds for their legal expenses. You can contribute to their legal fund through here.
.
Our office maintains a prudent and penny-wise budget. We take pride in our low monthly overhead. There are no salaries or huge office expenses.
Working out of our homes, the biggest expense is travel to DC once or twice a year. In 2015, our Chairwoman spent 6 weeks camping in DC – spending about $25 a day, including metro fare. During this time, she visited every congressional office in the Senate and House office buildings at least once. We keep expenses down by not staying in motels, not eating restaurant food, and not taking taxis. We also don’t party or spend money on politicians or their aides.
Office expenses include hosting of the website, paper, toner, envelopes and stamps. Once or twice a year, the general fund also contributes to the cell phone bill or internet service.
If you want to help the office, an easy way is through Amazon Smile when you order things for yourself online. Amazon has a program that – while still allowing you to order the exact same things you would on the regular Amazon page for the exact same prices – gives a tiny percentage of the purchase price to the charity of your choice. It is absolutely pain free – the easiest way to donate. You can even set it up to do the donation automatically every time you shop. Amazon will remember and apply it for you.
Go to smile.Amazon.com to check it out.
