The BVI Charitable Fund
was established on Easter Monday, March 24, 2008 to serve
as a vehicle to raise money for several worthwhile causes
in the British Virgin Islands including but not limited to
the BVI Red Cross, St. George’s School, Tortola; and
St. Mary’s School, Virgin Gorda.
The co chairs of the BVI Charitable Fund are the Hon. Ralph T. O’Neal,
OBE, Premier and Ajit Mathew George, Managing Director, Nail Bay Resort.
The first fundraiser that is being organized by the BVI Charitable Fund is the
2008 Virgin Islands Winemakers Dinners.
The BVI Charitable Fund is also assembling a collection of accommodations to
be marketed year round as “The BVI Dream Vacation Collection” featuring
a variety of homes and luxury hotel rooms in the BVI. The BVI Charitable Fund
has identified a number of charities in the USA and UK who feature silent and
live auctions that raise significant amounts of money by auctioning trips to
places such as Virgin Gorda and the British Virgin Islands. The BVI Charitable
Fund plans to offer a package from “The BVI Dream Vacation Collection” to
these charities in return for them agreeing to share 50% of the proceeds from
their auctions with The BVI Charitable Fund.
The BVI Charitable Fund has no staff or overhead in that Nail Bay Resort has
agreed to loan its staff at no cost for the first twelve months and underwrite
the office expenses.
