How DAISY Is Run
We received our 501c(3) status in July, 2000, so all contributions are tax-exempt.
While we will keep this a home-run foundation to maximize the use of our donations, our volunteer Board of Directors is growing. We continue to add people with very relevant skills, contacts, and, of course, dedication to the work we do.
