At Gift we feel that it is important to be frugal with all the resources we have
been given. Therefore we have established a system of doing business that ensures
our ability to handle funds and donations in a responsible way. Our partnership
with other businesses and church organizations allows us to make use of the
resources that they have at their disposal, and also allows them to use our
resources to better run their business. In this partnership we also have the
potential to distribute overhead costs to many different organizations
which reduces the amount of money we all must spend.
One of the reasons we are able to do this is because we
distribute our stored materials over a large database of business sites,
allowing us to pay less for space rent and more on focused programs to help
reach peoples needs. Another benefit that comes from working directly with other
businesses and church organizations is both parties are able to benefit from
the reputation of the other. This allows us to have a large marketing area in
which to promote both our services and the services or products of our
supporters.
A third benefit that comes from our partnerships with other organizations is it
allows us to make use of the larger number of volunteers that exist within
other businesses or churches. This gives us an extended opportunity to support
the programs that we provide, and when added to the resources that these other
organizations offer, you have a much a broader realm of opportunity for outreach.
