Fundraising Goals

Alexander’s family’s short-term goal is to maximize his achievements both physically and cognitively during the first six years of his life—a time shown to have the most chance for success long term. Therefore, the short-term goal of Alexander’s Fund is to fund the day-to-day therapy choices made by the family in the first six years of his life.

Since Alexander is making so much progress with the programs he is being exposed to, his therapy needs keep changing. This really makes long-term fundraising goal planning very difficult. That’s why the long-term goal of Alexander’s Fund is to create a community of on-going support—both financial and social—for Alexander as he grows. Ultimately, we also want to be able to offer financial assistance to other families interested in maximizing early intervention therapies for their developmentally delayed children.

Specifically, we need to raise an estimated $59,200 in 2012 to cover the costs of travelling to the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, program tuition, specialized equipment and additional family support in the form of aide workers or respite care. We will do this with the support of the Charitable Foundation of the Family – an incorporated charity in the province of Alberta. We estimate that it will cost our organization approximately $2000 to raise these funds.
