Jacob’s Angels program is an additional source of funds for our annual operating budget. Member dues comprise only 26% of our revenues. Our cost per member, $2,700, is significantly above our highest dues level, and no one who is unable to pay the standard dues rate is turned away. The remainder of income derives from other sources of fundraising and donations of our members.
