The PIE program has allowed Victoria Cool Aid Society to earn interest about what the chartered banks were willing to provide for fixed-income investments. Because the funds are accessible at any time, it has allowed Cool Aid to hold a higher operating cash balance than if the funds were locked in, also helping us earn a higher income. This income, which is unrestricted, supports important staff development and appreciation initiatives.
