PROPOSED 2017-18 BUDGET
• The goal of this budget is to ensure that we have money to operate over the
summer. We know we will likely have to revise in September and for sure in
November.
• Many of the line items will depend on our fundraising and corporate matching
income. We don't have enough data to accurately predict these numbers. That is
why you will see zeros in a few places or conservative estimates in places.
• We will likely carry over around $24,000. This will give us a nice reserve for lean
years. It also will allow us to sign an Art contract over the summer if needed.
