The general proposal under discussion is $42/month for 2008 with waiver procedure as drafted in the Bylaws.  PayPal cleared us today, so we can start collecting member dues.  Minus PayPal fees, planning for $1,200/month for rent, internet and insurance, this means we need to have 30 members to maintain the space.
The general proposal agreed to on Tuesday, May 6 was to charge $50/month for dues, strongly encouraging members to donate via PayPal for privacy reasons.


Already, we have 6 members so we need to find 24 more dues paying members.
This amount will be re-evaluated as expenses become more well known.


Of course, anyone will be encouraged to donate more.  Everything beyond $42 is tax deductible.
As of COB on the date of this report, we have 22 dues paying members establishing a base budget of $1,100 to cover Rent, Insurance and Internet for the space.

Budget

Membership Dues

The general proposal agreed to on Tuesday, May 6 was to charge $50/month for dues, strongly encouraging members to donate via PayPal for privacy reasons.

This amount will be re-evaluated as expenses become more well known.

As of COB on the date of this report, we have 22 dues paying members establishing a base budget of $1,100 to cover Rent, Insurance and Internet for the space.

Budget Principles Proposal

  • Our Monthly Expenses (Rent, Insurance, Internet, Basic Supplies) shall remain under a fixed amount per month to be fully fundable by member dues.
  • Membership dues alone must be able to conver the space's minimal expenses
  • Anything raised beyond expenses, be it through a "soda fund", the sale of recycled equipment, etc (and not restricted to a cause) should go towards group-wide goals approved at a meeting

Budget Proposals

HiDeUS (High Density Unit of Shelving) - $500

I authorized a budget of $400 for the initial construction. I propose a budget of $500.00 for finishing off the shelf, however, we need to raise May Dues to pay for May Rent first.

Compliance Paperwork - $1,003.00

Form Purpose Cost
IRS 1023 501(c)(3) Exemption Application $750.00
FR 500 DC Business Tax Registration $0.00
FR 164 DC Income, Franchise, Sales, Use and Property Tax Exemption $0.00
DC Basic Business License (Charitable Solicitation) Required for soliciting donations from the public $253.00
