Agape’s Operations in the United States
Agape has an operating committee in the U.S. that oversees donor relations, fundraising & event management, and legal compliance & financial reporting. All U.S. staff are volunteers - allowing virtually all funds raised to be used to support Agape's children.
The operating committee’s responsibilities are primarily to find ways to increase awareness about Agape, raise funds for the children by widening the donor base and requesting grants from foundations and corporations, and to manage day-to-day administrative operations cost-effectively.
