How does Second Wind Dreams® calculate the amount an E-Dream needs in order to be funded?

The value of an E-Dream (the monetary amount a dream needs to be funded by Second Wind Dreams®) is equal to the actual amount of assistance requested by the applicant, plus 12% of that amount. For example, an E-Dream with a $100.00 expense would need $112 in donations to Second Wind Dreams® in order to be fully funded by Second Wind Dreams®. We build this additional 12% into the monetary value of each application for two purposes.

First of all, at this time, Second Wind Dreams® has very little funding for its own costs to run the organization / we have no corporate grants for that purpose. Obtaining grants of this type for a charity that serves our nations elders has been exceedingly difficult. Consequently, we use this additional 12% for several purposes.

1. To help fund the operational costs of this program 2. To 'jump start' applications that our donors haven't noticed.

3. To 'top off' applications that we believe are critical and which need just a small number of extra dollars in ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
