OPERATIONAL COST ANALYSIS
 The costs of each operation are as unique as the demands of that particular operation. On average, ARC operations in the field do not exceed ten days. The ability to recover a child at this rate is predicated on the success of the operational analysis prior to entering the field. The time and energy required by this process, while demanding a smaller portion of the funding, is a critical step in the success of the operation. Compared to an average 3-year recovery by customary investigative authorities, ARC’s performance speaks for itself.
Starting with the administration, logistical and security preparation, the performance of in-country activities that lead to the location and successful recovery of a child can vary in cost. Movements of an abductor from one location to the next can offset the equation. Logistical funding requirements allow ARC to rework the equation with preemptive measures that facilitate our ability to expedite the arrival of necessary assets to the exact location of the child before he/she is moved to another secured site.
The performance of international activities that lead to the location and safe recovery of a child can also vary in cost. Although our foreign counterparts are eager to assist in the operation, from time-to-time some foreign entities see this as an opportunity for profit, an unfortunate demand that can increase the cost for a recovery operation.
DONATIONS
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your interest in the Association for the Recovery of Children (ARC). As we embark on a campaign to raise funds for operations, we need your support more then ever.Our goal is $3,150,000 in financial support for this fiscal year for operations (both foreign and domestic) involving the approximately 400,000 children missing each year. To date we have a 100% success rate with a multitude of recoveries, which translates to the fact that no harm ever came to a child reunited with their custodial parents. We are proud of these achievements and wouldn’t be where we are today without the many dedicated and generous individuals, foundations, organizations, corporations, and global network affiliates who support us.
We envision building upon collaborative success by equally distributing your financial donations for the recovery of missing and exploited children. No matter how many flyers are printed or how many photos are imaged on milk cartons, at the end of the day a child does not come home until an organization like ARC physically enters the field, locates and safely retrieves that child.
ARC is pleased to submit this request for your review. We look to your partnership in our cooperative efforts to continue the successful rescue of missing, exploited, abducted and often times abused children in the United States and abroad.
Simply stated... a missing child's only hope of rescue are people like you and I who are willing to donate our time, energy and money to bring them home.
Sincerely,
Bazzel Baz
