Sponsor
If it were not for sponsor BenTech would not
be in the position it is today. It was due to a small group of
sponsor, who provided the seed funding for the organisation, that
we could kick start the organisation. This seed funding was
instrumental in allowing Bentech to take its story out to the wider
community in order to attract further funding to fully enable the
project.
The bulk of the funding to run the Ben’s House Project has been
provided by the Department of Local Government and Communities over
a two year period.
If you are interested in making a donation to the BenTech
organisation please contact us (click
Contacts above) to arrange a time to meet and talk. The My Place
Foundation, who is the administrator of BenTech funding, is an
incorporated body who is registered with the Australian Taxation
Office to receive tax deductable donations, so any donation made to
BenTech through My Place Foundation is tax deductible.
Tom Kendall, Managing Director of Mintrex Engineering Pty Ltd has
made a serious donation of money over the first twelve months to
provide a “kick start” to the project. As well as his monetary
contribution Tom has arranged for some of his staff to volunteer
their time as consultants to the project,
Tim
Brown, the older brother of Ben made a cash donation to the project
in its early days to get the project established.
John and Pat Allen, parents of the project’s Managing Director, have
made a cash donation to the project.
Bentech Assistive Technologies Inc. and its first project, Ben’s House
Project, is very dependent on the enormous contribution that has
been committed by the volunteers. These volunteers have, even before
the official start of the project, donated their time selflessly to
a wide range of tasks that are required for a project of this size
and complexity.
The Mosman Park Community Men’s Shed, through its committee and its
members, has been a keen and active supporter of the project.
The Brown family is, and will be, forever grateful to those who have
committed their money, time, expertise and passion to make this
vision a reality.
