Building Families Fund
2007 BFF Highlights - A huge
THANK YOU to our many wonderful BFF donors for making 2007 such
a banner year with our Building Families Fund. A total of
$72,8723 in grants were awarded to Dillon adoptive families in
the process of adopting 23 children with special needs. These
children are now guaranteed a life of love and the special care
that they deserve in order to reach their full potential.
Dillon International offers
the Building Families Fund
to assist children with special needs to become more
accessible for adoption and find a permanent family by covering some of the
expenses families would incur in adopting these children. The fund is also
used to help families, who want very much to adopt a child and yet lack the
financial resources, with a portion of their adoption
expenses.
The average grant with the
Building Families Fund is $2,000,
but may be more or less depending upon an individual family's need. The fund is
only available to families who are adopting through Dillon
International.
The Building Families Fund was established by
several Dillon adoptive families who wanted to share their joy in adoption with
other deserving families while helping the growing number of children with
special needs have the opportunity to have a loving family and a better life.
Families or individuals who would like
more information about contributing financially
to this important fund can
contact Susanna
Will, Director of Development, at (918)749-4600 or by emailing the
Development Department. If you would like to donate to
the Building Families Fund,

Endowment
Trust
Having placed over 5,500 children with loving families in the past
35 years, the time has come to ensure that Dillon International will continue to
serve children joining families today and families who are yet to come
together. Looking ahead to the next 35 years, we see tremendous opportunities
to build families and improve the lives of children in need. In order to see
these goals become reality, we are compelled to look beyond 2007. We are
pleased to have the
Dillon
International Endowment Fund.
Initiated by a
sizeable contribution from the Meyer and Whitwell families of
Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Endowment will help perpetuate the unique
culture of caring that families have come to expect from Dillon
International. The gift from these two adoptive families
affirms the agency’s core principles and will help to perpetuate
the meaningful mission embraced by our organization.
With stewardship of any gift as a primary concern,
the endowment funds will be held in trust for Dillon International and invested
conservatively by the trustees. Annually, a portion of the income generated by
the endowment fund will be distributed to Dillon International to help offset
operational and program expenses. The remainder of the income, along with
additional donations, will be added to the fund, allowing it to grow and provide
increasing resources for new programs at Dillon International in the future.
Our initial goal is to
raise $2 million. The two families, along
with the Dillon International board of directors, look forward to your
involvement in the success and growth of the endowment. If you are
interested in assisting with this campaign or contributing financially, please contact Susanna Will, Director of Development, at
(918)749-4600 or by emailing the
Development Department.

Charitable
Contributions Policy
As a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization, Dillon International welcomes all donations to
assist us in our mission to make a better life for children.
Dillon International does not actively
solicit donations from adoptive families who are in any stage of
the adoption process. Due to the confidential and sensitive
nature surrounding the adoption process, all donations which do
come from in-process families have safeguards in order to
protect our adoptive families as well as the agency. All
donations are considered confidential and any information
associated with a donation is not shared with the social work
staff. This policy is to protect adoptive families and the
agency from the perception of compromise during the adoption
evaluation process.

Can I send my used clothing to you?
Dillon International is not in a position to accept donations of
used clothing. If you are considering collecting and donating
good quality used clothing, we suggest that these items be taken
to a local resale shop and the funds you raise can be donated to
the Dillon International program of your choice. Another idea
is to donate them to a local shelter.
How can I send a memorial gift or a
donation in honor of another individual?
Honoring a special person or remembering a loved one through
your contributions is a wonderful way to express your love and
care. Please note on your payment the name and address of the
person you would like the acknowledgement to be sent to. If you
would like this gift to go to a specific program (ex. Vietnam
Scholarship Fund, Heart Surgeries in China, etc.) please
indicate this in your note.

Generally, funds are transferred twice a month by wire. The
funds are wired to our country directors to use for the children
in their care.
How can I raise funds for Dillon

We welcome your assistance. You are invited to become involved
in your local family group. Each family group gets together at
different times during the year to raise funds for the children.
Are contributions to Dillon

Yes. Dillon International, Inc., is a registered
501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is classified as a public
charity under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Therefore,
all contributions to Dillon International are tax
deductible in the United States.
How much of what I give to Dillon
International goes to programs for the children and how much is
spent on overhead?
We are very happy to report that the children receive over 90%
of all donations and only 8.1% is used for overhead expense.
How do I know my donations are going
where you say they are going?
Dillon International works directly with the orphanage directors
in the countries we serve. Dillon staff travels several times
each year, visiting the sites and taking photos of the progress
(and future needs).
