Childspring International Takes it up a Notch
Nonprofit saw record-breaking growth for 2007, on target to repeat in 2008


ATLANTA – July 1, 2008 - Childspring International, a 501c(3) nonprofit serving children with medical conditions worldwide, announced results from its annual report. Childspring saw record-breaking growth both in terms of fundraising as well as the number of children helped by its services.

In 2007, Childspring served 109 children from 16 countries. This is 10% more children treated than in 2006. Of these 109 children were served through the non-profit’s medical program, while an additional 100 children were served through the nutritional program and 58 through our scholarship program.

Childspring raised $134,000 in November and December, exceeding its goal of $100,000. In 2007, general contributions totaled $308,984 as compared to $224,516 in 2006.

“With the support of the local community, Childspring continues to be able to help children who are most in need,” said Rose Emily Bermudez, executive director of Childspring International. “Our goal is to continue this growth with predictable recurring revenue combined with a steady increase in revenue through events. With a new strategic plan finalized in 2007, we are in the process of ensuring our organization is prepared for a dramatic growth plan so we can make a difference in the lives of even more children around the world.”

Childspring partnered with more than 50 doctors and with more than 21 different hospitals and medical facilities domestically and abroad. Childspring also partnered with 10 charitable and for-profit organizations in order to meet the requirements of helping those in need. A comprehensive list of these can be found in the annual report, www.childspringintl.org.

In 2007, 87 percent of revenue originated from donations and 13 percent from events.
