2020, with the onset of the pandemic, presented a huge challenge to our country and our fellow non-profits.   The Mount Baker Council was fighting the same battle to continue its commitment to balance the operating budget each year.   


Quickly, through oversight by the Council Finance Committee and management of the Council leadership, the Council embarked on a "Strictly Business" campaign to balance the budget with a known drop of $1.128 million in revenue.  By changing the auction model, securing several donations, including a $100,000 gift, running a special fundraising campaign with a $60,000 matching gift and securing a PPP loan, the Council surpassed its orginal net revenue by over $50k.  


The Council met the challenge head-on with creation of visionary programs, implemented tough expense reductions and fostered stronger relationships with our supporters to meet the needs of our Scouting families.
