Funding

Community support

Many generous individuals provide vital support for the work of The Emmy Foundation through regular monthly gifts, donations to specific appeals, one-time gifts, and contributions to community fundraising events. We are deeply grateful to each and every one of them.

We are committed to being responsible stewards of every gift we receive. We continually seek to ensure that our partners’ contributions—whether financial or otherwise—have the greatest possible impact and are used where they are needed most.

Where does the money go?

The Emmy Foundation works hard to make the most of every contribution we receive. Whether a gift comes from an individual supporter, a corporate partner, a philanthropic foundation, or another source, we aim to use it wisely and effectively.

At the beginning of each financial year, we assess the funding needed for our various services and projects. When funds exceed the immediate needs of a particular area, we use those resources to support other services with greater financial needs or set them aside to help ensure the long-term sustainability of our programs.

Our structure is designed to avoid dependence on a single source of income. This gives us the flexibility to strengthen our services by making the best possible use of our existing resources, knowledge, experience, and partnerships.

By managing our costs carefully and avoiding unnecessary overhead, we can maximize the amount of funding that goes directly towards supporting people in need and making a lasting difference in their lives.
