Dear friends and supporters of Estonia!

Thanks to you the Fund is completing its twentieth year of service.

The two million dollars in donations that we have received over the years were used to supply CT scanners and X-ray cabinets that served tens of thousands of patients. Over 30,000 books, including scientific literature, were provided to schools and libraries. Over $12 million in medical supplies and medicines were provided to nursing homes and hospitals.

We helped establish nongovernmental organizations, granted scholarships, and supported institutions that serve young people, children, and the aged.

None of this would have been possible without your support.

For that, our heartfelt thanks.

The Board of Directors

Täname lahkeid toetajaid ja kaastöölisi!

 

2010  Highlights

Despite the shaky U. S. economy, EAF supporters were steadfast in their generosity. For that, many thankful recipients of your generosity in Estonia were moved to tears.
The Tartu Christian Adolescents’ Home, Bethel Pastoral Care in Tallinn, Kohila Children’s Welfare Society were among the youth-serving institutions that found our support crucial.

Tartu University’s Library asked, and received, $6500 for the acquisition of business and economics literature. Some $20,000 was expended on scholarships. A new scholarship in memory of Ole Golubjatnikov, the late Board member and leader of the medical technology transfer project, was started, and the first  awards of $2000 each were made to three graduate students in the University’s biomedical technology and medical physics center.

We try to match outlays to revenues, but
sometimes we spend more than we receive in contributions.  Our outlays topped receipts by $60,000 in 2009. In 2010,
revenues  (donations plus investment income) were about $5000 higher than expenditures, as inflows at yearend exceeded expectations.  A surprise was the receipt of funds from two bequests. That set us up for a strong start in 2011.

About our portfolio. It registered a sharp drop in investment income, reflecting interest rates that have declined drastically over the past three years. The Fund raised its cash and near-cash position to 25% of total assets. The idea is to avoid untimely asset sales and to make sure funds will be on hand to meet expected obligations in 2011.
