FINANCING

Our programs pretend to take place under a selfmanagement concept. It should be understood that being a non profitable institution means neither to work in a paternal way nor to develop activities that can provoke an economic loss in a near future, because this puts at great risk our mission's performance. This is why we manage all programs under an entrepreneurial concept where quality service dignifies those who are benefited.

As an example, for those patients who are requiring rehabilitation, CAID asks them to pay part of it, so they feel as an important part of the problem solving aspect. Once they have agreed to make this payment, the Social Work Department evaluates how much can the patient afford and where to go to look for the rest of the financing for his or her rehabilitation.

We have to face a very big problem since the needs of our people grow tremendously every day while our capacity to help them also becomes more and more restrained. Currently the economic aspect is an obstacle for us to satisfy all of these requirements.

Even though we have implemented practices such as Strategical Alliances with many institutions, funding programs and work on productive projects which have been very effective, the need of social partners that invest with us becomes more and more urgent every day.

Hermano Miguel Foundation is an institution that develops projects that are of no profitability or loss, because "our profitability is measured on the development of the social field"
