| A VIABLE PARTNERSHIP
– MAKE YOUR MONEY COUNT WITH THE APD
As a responsible corporate citizen, you want to invest
in a reputable organisation, which will not only utilise
your funds wisely, but also bring about mutually beneficial
results to both parties and make a real and lasting difference
at grassroots level. The APD can provide this opportunity.
WHY THE APD?
| ORGANISATION |
1. Employs 32 highly skilled, professional, hands-on
care service providers.
2. Has been serving people with disabilities since
1934 (in 72 years has helped more than 500 000 people).

4. Fully compliant Non-Profit Organisation (NPO)
and Public Benefit Organisation (PBO).
5. Internal Transformation Programme in third of
a five-year implementation plan.
6. Internal restructuring
plan has since March 2003 already resulted in: •
a professional management structure/system that
ensures good governance and transparency, •
clearly defined five-year strategic plan, •
revised Constitution, • sound HR policies,
• improved productivity, • reduction
in expenditure, and • increase in income.
|
 FINANCIALS
In 2006/07 we foresee an operating expenditure of R5.182m.
This translates into a service delivery cost of only R2.45
per person per day - 7 cents less than during the previous
fiscal!
Corrective measures (part of the five-year strategic plan)
have already more than doubled the money secured through
fundraising projects over the past two years. We will, however,
have a net deficit of just over R1.6m unless we can generate
income through appeals/proposals to companies such as yours.
We will therefore welcome any financial contribution you
can make towards the APD.
YOU WILL BE IN GOOD COMPANY
Some our very valued past and present supporters include:
AECI, Anglo American, Anglogold Ashanti, Consol, De Beers,
