Our Funding

BCMF would not be able to restore the health and dignity of our many beneficiaries without the generosity of our donor organisations and individual supporters. BCMF strongly adheres the to principals of transparency and accountability. Through our Annual Report we provide complete transparency of our funds. Further, staff salaries and administrative costs are paid exclusively through pre-existing arrangements with designated donors.

This means 100% of individual donations go toward direct patient costs. These costs cover doctor visits, diagnostic testing, surgery, medications and patient support which includes transport, food, and accommodation while in Chiang Mai or Bangkok.

BCMF also works closely with numerous other organisations including B.K.Kee Foundation, Brodtbeck Philanthropy Foundation, Child's Dream Foundation, China California Heart Watch, Chiang Mai International Rotary Club, Days for Girls Australia, Dak Foundation, Free Wheelchair Mission, Rajanagarindra Institute of Child Development, Red Rocketship Foundation, Silent Donor, Thailand Japan Education Development Foundation, Watsi, Wheelchairs for Kids, and many others.

Transparency

At BCMF, transparency is vital. Our donors must feel confident about where and how program funds are being spent. To ensure transparency BCMF keeps detailed records of all our projects including pictures, reports and financial records. If a donor or organisation opts to fund a particular child or project, a breakdown of costs and a complete report on the child's or projects progress can be provided upon request.

Minimising Costs

Administrative costs at BCMF are kept to a minimum in order to allow us to dedicate the majority of our funding towards our projects. Goods and services required for the implementation and management of the program are obtained at competitive prices with full documentation and receipts. BCMF also utilizes our relationship with Thai hospitals to negotiate fair and, where possible, discounted prices for surgical procedures, further stretching the reach of our funding to benefit the maximum number of patients possible.
