We did this with 100% of the money raised going to people that needed our help. No overhead of any kind is charged to any donors gift other than one donor who pays for all of these expenses and makes a large enough programmatic gift to seed all of HOTs programs. This booklet describes all of HOTs current programs. For ease of reading we use red print toemphasizeourinitiativeswhereweHelpPeopleHelpThemselvesprojectswhere HOT helps people gain or regain their financial independence. We feed and clothe the poor, but realize that unless we teach them what is necessary for them to get a (new) job, they will continue in the never-ending cycle of poverty. We use blue print to designate grants we have already made or designations you can make where our dollars are leveraged, by having it matched with money raised by our partners. You will see opportunities to leverage YOUR gift to help the people you think have the greatest need.We use yellow highlighting for strong emphasis. You will see opportunities to help individuals, and in many cases, entire families, to escape the endless cycle of poverty.In our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 we raised $1,061,000 from more than 200 donors and distributed $1,110,000.To new readersHOW DOES HOT WORK? Unlike other charities where 25, 30, 40 or in some cases as much as 50% of what you give goes to pay for the administrative and fund-raising expenses of the charity, we have a donor who,inadditiontoasubstantialannualprogrammaticgift(seebelow),pays100%ofall HOTsexpenses,resultingin100%ofyourgifthelpingpeoplewhowouldotherwise continue to suffer.Unlike other charities where your gift goes into a pot, HOT encourages you to pick which specific group of people you want to help and how you want to help them:six categories to pick from, 47 projects in all. The donor referred to above seeds every project, every year. The projects can be expanded if you want them expanded. Unlike other charities that tell you $100 does this, or $1,000 does that, or $10,000 does something else when all they are doing is giving you illustrations, dollars given to HOT do not become fungible as HOT directly uses what you give it, for exactly what you want it to be used for.HOT does not pay ANY of the overhead of ANY organization it partners with.HOT supports sectarian and non-sectarian projects (but YOUR dollars go ONLY to where YOU tell us YOU want them to gothere is no fungibility of dollars at HOT). HOT support projects in the United States, in Israel, one in Guatemala, one in the Former Soviet Union (FSU), and one in Kenya.1'
