PitayaSuwan Foundation (PSF) is a non-profit and a non governmental organization; as such it does not receive support from the State or other public institutions. We run all our operations through the participation fee paid by volunteers on our camps.

Through the payment of the participation fee, volunteers do not only cover the costs of the community development project they are implementing but they also contribute to all the other projects we carry on all over the year (Print Rite Tsunami Relief project, internships for disadvantaged Thai volunteers, participation to international programs for disadvantaged Thai active members of PSF and financial support to local schools and community activities) and to cover our overhead costs.

Our incomes are:
Greenway Thailand/ The Green Lion
Participation fees (paid by international participants)
Donations (in money and kind from individuals, other organizations or companies)
Voluntary work (the work members and volunteers do without receiving a financial compensation)

Our main expenses are:
Program costs (accommodation, food, transport etc.)
Office Equipment, stationery and communication
Local Transport costs/ project visits
Salaries (Minimal for PSF)
Meals for staff and volunteers when at the main base
Development and implementation of local projects
Educational and personal development projects for Thai underprivileged youngsters and Tsunami orphans project (PSF is covering the project expenses in cooperation with the Print Rite Charity Foundation Ltd).

Some brief notes on ethical stands regarding financial management.

PSF uses its financial resources according to a number of social values and it tries to act in an environmentally and socially sustainable way. To the best of its possibility the Foundation tries to adopt an economic and simple way of functioning.

Sharing a simple life style: hosting centers are simple and adapted to the rural surroundings, we try to follow a sustainable way of living, we do not spoil food and goods.

Sharing belongings and equipment: PSF encourage its staff and volunteers to share Foundations and private resources when working and enjoying free time (examples: car, bikes, IT equipment, etc);

Sustainable consumption: PSF purchases only things it really needs in order to guarantee the functioning of the office and the appropriate development of its projects.

Environmental sustainability: PSF members, staff and international volunteers are encouraged to prudently use water, electricity, cars, paper, etc.
