Ten Reasons for Contributing to the Los Toros Foundation
1.
Grass Roots Help – the Foundation Projects represent collaboration with the residents of Los Toros, Azua, Dominican Republic in determining their communal needs and setting priorities to meet those needs. They assess their own needs and submit a proposal to meet those needs which is carefully reviewed by members of the Board of Directors.
2. Almost Twenty Years of
Experience – members of the Foundation have almost twenty years of experience working together with the people of Los Toros. Relationships have been carefully formed and a spirit of cooperation and accountability has been clearly established.
3. No Administration Fees
– Every penny collected goes directly to the projects that are established in Los Toros. The Foundation does not pay a salary or expenses to any member in the USA or Los Toros. Administrative and travel costs are absorbed by Foundation members; volunteers with professional experience guide the work of the Foundation. The community of Los Toros manages projects without salary or benefit to committee members.
4. Third World Aid – The community of Los Toros was carefully chosen for aid after visiting and consulting with other areas in the third world. The basis of selection included the great needs of the community as well as effective collaboration and cooperation in working together to meet goals and objectives.

finances. All expenditures will be carefully listed and verified though
reports and field visits. A series of checks and balances assures you that your contribution will be used effectively.
