Administration manager Jobs in Toronto, ON

About Our Client :

Sleeping Children Around the World is a registered Canadian charitable organization, founded in 1970 by Murray and Margaret Dryden, providing bedkits to children in developing countries. In return for each $40 donation, SCAW provides a child with a bedkit consisting of a mat or mattress, pillow, bedsheet, blanket, mosquito net (if required), clothes, towel and school supplies. The bedkits are created in the country where they are to be distributed which helps reduce transportation and material costs as well as providing an economic benefit to the targeted area. The organization reports that since 1970, bedkits have been provided to over 1.8 million children.

All charitable contributions go directly to purchasing the bedkits. The expenses connected to the volunteers who distribute the bedkits are paid by each volunteer. Administrative costs including the sole paid employee are paid from a legacy fund set up by Murray Dryden specifically to defray the costs of administration and to ensure that all money donated goes towards purchasing the bedkits.
