Each year new names are added to thedonor/prospect list and personal solicitation notes and an EBTM Activity Report are mailed to all prospects and donors. 320 solicitations were mailed in 2023. That number has increased by about 10 per year over the last 5 years. 85 cash contributions were received in 2023. That number has stayed about the same over the last 5 years. About the same number of donors drop out as new donors contribute.Multi-Factor Analysis1. Percentage of financial supportThe ratio of Public Financial Support is 23.69%. In 2019, 2020, and 2021, Karakin Foundation was EBTM's largest donor, contributing to a lower ratio of public support. In 2022, Karakin supported EBTM causes (the BEAM Foundation RISE Trauma Center in Mae Sot, Thailand) through the Partners Asia 501.c.3, which acted as their fiscal sponsor (In December 2022 Partners Asia disbursed $330,000 received from Karakin to the BEAM Education Foundation for Trauma Center needs in 2023 and 2024.) In 2023, Karakin supported EBTM with $30,000. In 2024, Karakin supported EBTM with $40,000. Future Karakin support for EBTM will mostly go through Partners Asia. This will help increase EBTM's ratio of Public Support.2. Sources of supportThere are approximately 85 separate donors in each of the last 5 years.
