It represents better access to lottery fund resources from one year to another and improve the credibility status in the local market. The entire work guaranteed a 7.8% improvement on the total amount received from lottery fund (distributed from COB). Beyond the tangible economic result, it was empirically noted a better relationship from the organization to its main stakeholders and, so, a willingness to be closer and support CBTM. This can also be measured by the 166.7% growth rate on membership affiliation to Brazilian table tennis clubs in this period.
