Contributions from Religious Organizations and Religious Adjucatory Bodies
All requests to such entities are made via personal contact by Dr. Price, Rev. Williamson, or any BMI volunteer who has an association with the entity of whom the request is made.
Contributions from Individuals
Requests will be made by Dr. Price, Rev. Williamson, and volunteers (including medical team members) by person to person contact of friends, acquaintances, and financially able individuals known for an interest in such charitable projects. A brochure explaining the overall purpose and goals of BMI, the personnel involved, the projects requiring funding, and the categories of financial contributions will be given to each potential donor.
Contributions from Charitable Organizations such as Civic/Service Clubs
Requests will be made by Dr. Price, Rev. Williamson, and volunteers (including medical team members) by presenting brief talks to organizations to which they belong and by giving prepared talks(of approximately thirty minutes) with visual aids consisting of either slides of project sites with volunteers at work or videos of the same. Brochures specifying the activities of BMI will be handed out at these presentations.
In-Kind Donations
Dr. Price and several of the medical personnel volunteers have established contacts at pharmaceutical companies and medical equipment supply companies such that requests for medications and expendable medical supplies may be submitted via a phone call to the appropriate contact. BMI will express appreciation in writing for each donation to maintain this ongoing relationship.
Recycled eye glasses are collected by many churches, community organizations, and the Lions Club for this mission work. Most of this is given without solicitation. Maintenance of mission-site medical equipment is serviced by volunteer personnel from medical equipment companies. Requests are made directly to personnel already in an established relationship with Dr. Price.
