Financial Data
- Budget Review for 2007-2008

Contribution History
This section has some financial information which should provide some idea of our budget needs and what our expenses are.
As a nonprofit we cannot deficit spend, nor can we put expenses into various overhead accounts. We need to pay all of our real costs of operating the project.
You will notice that staffing is a small expense for a project of this scope. All board members and officers are uncompensated volunteers, except the director who is paid for 10 hours per month year-round at minimum wage. Most staffing expense is for part-time student help during the busy months, and includes the overhead such as employer taxes and accounting fees.
At the current time the following information is available:
A Budget History, and A Contribution History
The budget history shows the amount of income from various sources for each season since we began, our total income and total expense for each season, and the net gain/loss. The contribution history shows how much we received each season, how many people contributed, and the average contribution amount.
This breaks down our income and expenses for this season. It is up to date as of February 29.
This breaks down our income and expenses for last season. It is up to date and final as of September 30, 2007. This is based on newly implemented accounting during the season.
This breaks down our income and expenses for one season. It is representative of our expense breakdown in most seasons. Our old accounting system was inherently problematic as we grew, and an accurate easy-to-read report for the web was difficult. While we did not post any current accounting again until the 2006-07 season the missing years are still shown in the Budget History and the Contribution History.
The Fall 2003 Grant Initiative
In the fall of 2003 I sent out a proposal for a small grant to help cover operating expenses to over 20 foundations. This was the culmination of a summer-long effort to prepare the proposal and supporting materials. This page summarizes the results. (No support.)
