Financial Information

Overview One Brick raises the majority of its operating funds through the grass roots efforts of its local chapters. We also leverage foundations and national organizations to help fund our expansion to new communities. We are proud that we are able to run a large volunteer organization on a very modest budget Last year, we provided over 6,000 hours of service in six communities on a budget of $77,000. As you can see, we exist because our volunteers support us. They are a part of ALL of our funding sources because they not only donate money themselves, but they participate in our social events, they volunteer at our community events and they patronize the businesses that we partner with. We could not do what we do without the amazing support of our volunteers!
Our Volunteers
	Individual Donations Over half of One Brick's funding comes from the generosity of our volunteers. We are especially pleased that they not only give their time but also help support our work financially. Each year over 400 people make direct donations via our website. They think we're awesome and the feeling is mutual.
	Social Events Each One Brick chapter hosts regular social events such as Happy Hours, Bowling Tournaments and Board Game nights. For a small admission fee, attendees can mingle, have fun, make new friends and support a great cause (without doing any work)!
Community Events
	Cannonball Productions Cannonball is an event production company dedicated to creating big, bold, one-of-a-kind experiences. One Brick works with Cannonball to produce beer festivals.
	Oktoberfest by The Bay Oktoberfest by The Bay is the largest beer festival on the West Coast. One Brick has provided volunteers for the festival in exchange for a donation since 2004.
