2020 Financial Highlights

Why Donate? MAFS can only sustain itself and serve the community by grants, fundraising, volunteering and in-kind contributions. The majority of MAFS’s funding comes from grants but one factor that is often overlooked is that funding from State, Federal and Local Government make up ONLY 65% to 75% of the cost to run these programs. The remaining 25% to 35% deficit must be raised by MAFS through

fundraising and donations. That is why we need our community and people like you to contribute through fundraising activities, donations, and contributions in person, through mail, or online. These donations/contributions can be done in several ways, including money, in-kind donations of space or supplies, and/or volunteering time and talent to serve & support MAFS’s programs.

Without fundraising & donations, MAFS would have a deficit of over $255,400. It was with the help of donors such as yourselves that we were able to raise $174,600 ($118,500 net) to offset our losses to $136,900 and continue our services.
