Administrative costs for Comfort Doll Project are extremely low. Our charity has no physical office, no office staff etc, so our only costs are:
- eBay fees (for 1-2 auctions per year on items like drum sticks)
- Paypal fees
- cost of beads to create bracelets and earrings from donated used guitar strings
- postage for mailing guitar string bracelet items to purchasers
We strive to keep costs as low as possible -these are the only costs that are recouped from the sale of the items themselves. 100% of proceeds of each sale goes to World Vision Canada through their online Gift Catalog, or other select charities at Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas (Union Gospel Mission, Salvation Army, local /regional food bank.
We also ship about 100 comfort dolls per year to Drops of Grace, an organization in Texas that takes comfort dolls to Africa once a year and usually the Philippines once a year. .
