Tr4easurer's Report
From a financial point of view, 2017 was a challenging year for Big Brothers Big Sisters of York (BBBSY).
Overall, revenue decreased from the prior year. Donations were down while Grants fundraising were about the same. Expenses were down about 12% . This was mainly due to reduced salaries as a result of staff restructuring.
For the year ending December 31, 2017, Gross Revenue was $620,538. Program, Fundraising and Administrative expenses were $606,143. This resulted in a surplus of $14,395.
Both the BBBSY Staff and Board remain committed to capitalizing on opportunities to Increase revenues either through growing our existing events and/or new streams of revenue in the areas of grants and donations along with cost reductions where possible.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Staff and the Board for their continued support, dedication and teamwork in 2017. We all look forward to what 2018 will bring to the agency.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of York--Annual Report 2017
6 Impact
When we start something today we make a difference tomorrow.
I t is with a heavy heart that I write my last Annual Report letter as the President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of York. Over the last six years I have watched the transformation of so many children and youth, and listened to impactful stories from families, children, and mentors across the board.
Not only have I had the privilege of being part of this powerful work, I have had the honour or working with a tremendous team. A team that demonstrates their passion, commitment, perseverance, and integrity every day. Big Brothers Big Sisters is committed to building thriving communities by empowering lives through our mentoring programs. Changing the course of the lives of children and youth in our communities changes the `future' of our communities, and there is nothing more meaningful than watching a child meet their full potential with the guidance and support of a positive role model! In 2017, we had a successful year despite having to travel down some difficult paths. The mentoring effect continued on by reaching over 550 children through the committed and selfless work of our 465 volunteers.
Research by the Boston Consulting Group shows us that every $1 invested in our programming returns between $18 - $23 to society through taxes, higher incomes, volunteerism, and charitable donations as a results of our one-to-one mentoring program. Our Group programs are becoming widely sought after and our waitlists continue to grow.
We continue to reach out to all of our community members for support in our fundraising efforts and our volunteer initiatives that drive our mentoring programs. Without the support of each and every one of our loyal supporters, sponsors, and donors we could not continue to do the amazing work we do!
Sarah Dame, President & CEO
