How You Can Help
Financial Support
Kozmoz provides for its programs the old fashioned way, we earn it. As a social enterprise, nearly 90 percent of Kozmoz' budget is provided by enterprises it operates to provide services to the communities in which it has programs. Enterprises like educational programs, recycling programs and programs providing houshold water purification and energy productions. That is not to say that we turn away donations, but more than 90% of our funding is generated by these programs making every dollar that is donated an exceptional investment in our community.
Most Charities and the like are considered exceptional if more than 25 percent of received suport is distributed. In 2013, Kozmoz International had an operating budget of aprox. 70, 000 dollars world wide. That was 100 percent contributed by Kozmoz enterprises and our members. We provided over one million dollars of material assistance in 2013 in Japan alone. You do the math. Every dollar that you can contribute can release many times that in real aid to the community.
