Avivara 2010 Annual Report Prologue
2010 was a pivotal
year for Avivara and its affiliate organization in Guatemala, Asociacion Avivara. As a
comparatively young organization, Avivara began 2010 with moderate cash
reserves and a relatively small and concentrated donor base. However, because
of work done by the Board, staff and other volunteers, overall revenues in 2010
increased by 55% (from slightly under $61,000 in 2009 to just under $94,500 in
2010.) In addition, our number of donors increased from 143 in 2009, to 227 in
2010, a 59% expansion of our donor base. These successes allowed our educational
programs in Guatemala
to grow proportionately and move Avivara into a position of greater financial
stability.

2009 Avivara Annual
Report
2009 was clearly a
difficult year for many non-profit organizations. Recent reports
indicate that, on average, revenues for non-profits decreased by 9-11%
from revenues in 2008. Fortunately, Avivara countered that
trend with an overall increase in revenues of nearly 60% over 2008, and
an increase in its number of contributors from 58 in 2008, to 143 in
2009. Therefore, we wish to sincerely thank those people who supported
the programs of Avivara this year with their generous
contributions of time, talent and treasure.
The dominant theme for Avivara in 2009 was
building relationships. We strengthened our ties to the schools we work
with and had many more opportunities to work side-by-side with the
teachers in the classrooms. We also expanded the number of secondary
students receiving scholarships and continued to work closely with the
community library/after school center group in Zacatecas. Through
enhancements to our website and email capabilities we were also able to
connect with many more people and significantly increase awareness of
our programs and activities.

2008 Avivara Annual Report
2008 was the first year of full operations for Avivara and its affiliate organization in Guatemala, Asociacion Avivara. The major accomplishments for 2008 included incorporation in both Guatemala and the United States and recognition as a 501(c)(3) public charity by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. In terms of its programs, Avivara established grant relationships with seven Guatemala Schools, provided scholarships for two secondary students and supported the opening of two after school learning centers. It also established five school-to-school partnerships. Financially, Avivara finished the year with a small operating surplus, the majority of which will go to fund programs in 2009.
