Opportunity to Invest

eMi Canada is seeking sponsors for 7 projects per year for the next three years, a total of 21 projects. These projects range in type from hospitals, orphanages, and schools, to water lines, wastewater systems, and storm water drainage projects. Each project goes through an extensive approval process to ensure that the services provided by eMi will improve the lives of the poorest of the poor.

The cost to eMi Canada’s general fund to underwrite each project is in the order of $6000 to $8000. Once a project is underwritten, eMi can mobilize a team of design professionals. Each team member is recruited to meet the unique design requirements for each specific project. Thereby, eMi is empowering volunteer professionals in using their skills to impact the lives of the poor. Each team produces a project report containing all information required to understand the ministry and their vision, and the architectural and engineering drawings required to construct the project. eMi teams make vision a reality.

For each project underwritten, eMi Canada is able to give professional services valued at an average of $75,000 to the organization being served. This return on investment is accomplished by mobilizing the in-kind services of professional volunteers including the cost of their travel; additionally the eMi staff is self-supported through deputized fund raising. Add it all up and on average each underwritten project has a 1 in 10 return on investment.

Investors are invited to underwrite the cost of an eMi project, multiple projects, or any portion of a project. eMi is a registered charitable organization and all gifts are tax deductible.

It is eMi’s goal to empower donors to participate in all or any portion of underwriting the cost of eMi projects. Full sponsorship for three years will allow eMi Canada to function with efficiency, taking profound steps towards the future.

Donations can by made on-line, via EFT (automatic bank account withdrawal), or by cheque made out to eMi Canada and mailed to 4626 Bowness Road NW, Calgary, Alberta, T3B 0B3.
