Library of Teachings 2009
Donor Report
In 2009, The Yogi Bhajan
Library of Teachings entered its second full
year of fundraising and the work of the
archive began in earnest. Because of your
donations in 2009, we have been able to
double the amount of video assets entering
the archival process in 2010 from 50 to 100,
each and every month. Beginning about a year
ago, we began archiving, on average, 100
audio and 50 video assets per month; that is
just over 900 audio assets and 450 video
assets in 2009. With more than 6000 total
assets, we still have a long way to go
toward a completed archive of the Teachings
of Yogi Bhajan. But we’ve made great
progress thanks to you!
We don’t use many traditional
fund raising techniques; that is, we don’t
inundate you with paper. Instead, we have
focused our efforts via e-mail campaigns, a
few phone calls, and online gifts. Because
of our nontraditional fund raising efforts,
we’ve been able to steward your gifts
directly to where they are needed—the
archive. Total expenses, and overhead
related to the archives, amount to less than
15% of the overall archive budget. So you
can be assured that your donation, no matter
how big or small, goes directly to the
archival work.
Transparency is a virtue and
a value of the Aquarian Age, so in an effort
to let you know our progress and to have the
work of the archive set the standard, we’ve
included a summary of our 2009 budget and
expenses related to The Yogi Bhajan Library
of Teachings.
Thank you for your generosity
in 2009—it made all the difference! We
continue to need your support. Become a
subscribing donor today—or let a friend know
why you donate to The Yogi Bhajan Library of
Teachings—keeping the legacy alive!
