There is a need to find various kinds of support for the Center. While help in terms of volunteers and useful equipment and material is crucial for the Center, it requires a certain amount of funding support in order to run smoothly and at optimum capacity. The 2 years of experience has given us a fair idea of the amount of money required to run the Center annually, while making sure that there is optimum utilization of a modest-sized staff. Accordingly, the Center requires approx USD 63,000 to run for a year, with full facilities and forty in-patients. While a corpus fund will be sought to be created in the coming years to provide at least half of this amount through bank interest, the Spinal Injury Center Nepal hopes to raise funds both domestically as well as through well-wishers outside Nepal.

The following is the breakdown of the USD 63,000 required for a full year of running the Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Center, through 2004-2005, according to the Nepali financial year.
