Budget
Membership Dues
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.
Already, we have 6 members so we need to find 24 more dues paying members.
Of course, anyone will be encouraged to donate more. Everything beyond $42 is tax deductible.
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.
