"The BACF is also proud it runs a very tight ship. Only one per cent of the foundation's budget is spent on operating costs. Clark and office manager Karen Johnston are the only two paid part-time staff, while their office space at 1401 Princess Ave., was donated as a gift-in-kind by Meyers Norris Penny.
Going towards the foundation's 50th birthday, Clark sees the fund continuing to prosper and benefit the community. She said it has branched out to help other organizations, as it acts as a money manager for smaller charities that require sound financial assistance.
She also hopes to continue the success of the Youth In Philanthropy program, which gets high school students involved in charitable giving.
Most of all, she hopes the people who get involved in the foundation in the future take the same approach as the people like the Secters and the others who preceded them. "
