Hey Heather & Mel,

This is the Proposed 2015 budget for Digital Storytellers.  

Please review and approve, or suggest improvements.

The key change from previous years is that the % was dropped from 5% to 3%.  This is a reduction of $480 from what we would have gotten at 5%. They will eventually need to set a permanent % that can only be changed within a re-proposal for fiscal sponsorship, but we certainly can question this reduction if we wanted, but 3% is still pretty reasonable.

Since we spend most of the money that we get from them on finances, I am encouraging them to add in a line item for specifically for finances in their budget so that they can self organize their finances.  They may be down to take out $500 from Kevin’s Admin role, and make that a finance role and Kevin may do that as well. But overall I think the Budget is satisfactory to allow them to continue.

Please get back to me ASAP as I did not find this email until today, so I’m sending this to you a little late.

Also stay tuned for a possible new BUS project where we might literally get a BUS donated to us.  As of now I still have not gotten sufficient information if this is really going to happen, but as soon as it seems like this is actually going to move forward, we will all need to talk.

BIG hug and lets all meet up soon.

J

Hey Jay,

The budget seems reasonable to me - so I approve it. I believe 3% is reasonable too.

Wow, a bus! Look forward to hearing more about your plans from it. So many causes benefit from the increased mobility-  from mobile libraries to computer labs to health clinics.

Hope all is well with everyone!

Warmly,

Melissa
