Budget and financial plan

I’ve decided to start focusing on the budget and financial plan part of the proposal. This is really the only deal breaker. If we can’t afford to offer services based on our vision and mission statement then we will need to make some changes or pursue a different avenue to help education the children in our community.

The key concept around this budget is to determine what services we want to provide. These services need to be driven by our vision and mission statement. I don’t want us to ever base the services we want to provide off of how much funding we receive. I would rather we recognize the funding shortfall and come up with a creative solution to bridge the gap.

Another important goal of the budget is that it is very simple to understand and formula driven.

Here’s a link to the budget. Take a look and let me know what you think.
