Annual Report

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2003

We are now reaching more than 14,000 people in 72 countries. We continue to find more people with VHL in US, Canada, and the U.K., and are beginning to expand in Spanish-speaking services both in the U.S. and throughout Central and South America.

While we continued to distribute thousands of VHL Handbooks and other materials both on paper and from our website, general operating expenses were down 6% over the prior fiscal year. Program expenses were down mostly due to our shift from 2-day annual meetings to 1-day regional meetings, in an effort to make it possible for more people to attend meetings at lower expense.

This year, thanks to you, we awarded $90,000 in research grants, bringing the total to $661,000 over the last seven years.

Let’s do it again!

Expenditures on Management and Fundraising rose modestly from 8% to 14% as we gear up for growth. We are strengthening our core services so that we can build our capacity to manage further growth and exciting new projects.
