BACO relies on the generosity of its members for its core funding. Members pay £20 per annum for membership and in addition make donations which are eligible for Gift Aid. We are always seeking to increase our membership and our Committee accept any opportunity to talk about our work to local groups. We have received one-off payments from generous individuals.
During the 1990’s the Committee started to make requests to various trusts and foundations and we have developed this work with a member of the committee and the Chairman devoting time to making applications. We are a grant making charity and this does not fit the criteria for many trusts and foundations.
2019 saw the launch of a website which allows the facility to donate on line via JustGiving and we also encourage people to give via the Buckinghamshire Lottery.
