WHERE OUR MONEY GOES
In the interest of transparency, we present our expenditures to the public. All donations listed below are available in physical documentation upon request. This page was last updated on July 22, 2022 and reflects totals prior to that date, rounded down to the nearest USD/GPB. Note: The Society of Fraternal Aid does not include shipping costs of postmarked letters (for refugee/soldier correspondences or thank you mail sent to contributors) in our expenditures. These are small, previously agreed upon personal expenses taken over by several long time volunteers, ensuring all of your donation goes straight to aid.
