Butters Foundation Management
The Butters Foundation has always kept administrative costs low. The Foundation is led by a dedicated group of volunteers and chaired by Dr. William Barakett of Knowlton, who has been awarded the Order of Canada for his long-standing efforts in community development. Ongoing administration costs 3% of annual revenues.
As in past campaigns, fundraising related costs related to the From Caring to Curing Campaign will not surpass 5% of Campaign donations. Our pledge is to invest donations into the creation of new best practices in the public rehabilitation system and to come to the aid of families in dire need.
