Project Periwinkle 2025
We continued to build upon our 2025 initiative. Shared in the final months of 2021, Project Periwinkle 2025 consists of a goal to raise $1 million by the end of 2025 fiscal year, and also a commitment to live through a strategy that drives innovation, creates an environment in which we are not only financially strong for the present day, but also for the future, and where we have the resources, both human and financial, to continue delivering on our mission.
By the close of our 2024 Fiscal Year, we have raised $257,371.29. Over one third has been raised in the past 12 months, and over half has been raised in the past 24 months. We are building momentum, and the impact we are making as a result is remarkable!
On the operations side of the organization, over the past year, we have continuously evaluated our financial standing, and have aligned our funding and budget processes in ways that allow us to be the best stewards of the resources we have. We have remained dedicated to being a fully volunteer based organization, directing 100% of what we raise back into the organization for our mission and research objectives. We have also continued to direct cash assets, that would otherwise be sitting idle as we prepare for future research funding allocations, to financial products that present zero risk and offer a return that excels growth, including Certificates of Deposit (CDs) and US Treasury Bills.
On the research side of the organization, we have continued make possible programs that offer promise and results, and align with the values of our organization. We have built upon relationships that are driving forward partnerships, breakthroughs and applications to other types of cancers. We have witnessed results, been recognized in medical publicans as the sole funder of studies, we have continued to lift others off the ground that then bring in further investments from other sources and have exceled progress that would otherwise not been a reality if it wasn’t for our organization.
Over the past twelve months, we have fueled our Project Periwinkle 2025 objectives, and while we have just under a year left, know there is still progress to be made, and are eager to continue delivering results.
