The BBFM Society is a grass-roots organization at the beginning of a very big project. Government has pledged its support in the form of a rain-cheque called Resolution 2626. But like any other non-profit organization, the society must first raise a certain portion of the initial cost of the project. Government will cover the remaining costs of construction once the society raises its share, which is estimated to be about $1.5 million. The society successfully worked through 2010 to earn its Charity Tax Status. The all-important fundraising campaign is now underway.
