"The archive delicately completes the previous BSRF archives received in 2016 from California. The shipping costs (USD 1.250) have been paid by the AFU foundation with funds saved up from the Larry Frascella donations in 2015 and 2016. Frascella also kindly paid directly for shipping of the 2016 donation across the Atlantic from USA."

Historielärarföreningen: Larry Frascella
"Jim Semivan offered his help with writing an “AFU master plan” for the future, and with finding benefactors for our foundation in his own, and others, business circles.
Jim was, in fact, scouting us out on behalf of his friend Mr. Larry Frascella, who wants to support serious research initiatives connected to UFOs and the wide range of unexplained phenomena. One month later a ground-breaking donation from him was on AFU’s bank account.
Larry Frascella sponsorship
The visit by Jim Semivan from the United States just mentioned was the start of a new sponsorship by business man Larry Frascella of Pennsylvania,USA. Shortly after Jim Semivan’s visit here, his recommendation made Mr. Frascella donate no less than 30.000 USD which at that time equaled 243.997 SEK. Just fantastic
Money, like those provided by Mr. Frascella cannot, reasonably, be used on regular expenditure like monthly rents for facilities, or staff’s salaries. In just a few months we could blow away everything on such running costs. We have decided to save some of Frascella’s money for special projects. We do have to find complimentary funding for regular long-term running costs. But how?"

"B. As a non-profit, does the Swedish government help you with any funding or any other type of support?
C. No, we have no funding from the government but from the employment agency which pays a part of the salaries for some of the persons put at AFU by them. To run AFU costs around $2,800 USD a month."
"Our staff consists of volunteers and people put with us from the employment agency, all in all around 10–12 persons. Four of them from the employment agency."
