Reducing dependence on grant funding has long been a priority for CDI. More and more, we are increasing revenues by charging fees for our services, and this work is providing good-paying jobs to our new and existing staff members. We’re proud to say that very little is spent on operational costs, which we have endeavored to keep low.
