Request for approval of $45,000 as our 2021-2022 fiscal year fund raising drive for March 2021

 

Comments:

 

  1. Our annual budget has been around $65,000

 

  1. Our income from committees has been around $12,000 (this year was an exception)

 

  1. We consciously set the goal for last year at $40,000 to help draw down our remainder funds. We also approved an extraordinary $20,000 CRA donation from the remainder funds for the KCC Employee Appreciation Fund Drive in May of 2020.

 

  1. Our remainder funds stand at $7,500 and we can expect the fund to grow this spring as committees are underspending. Currently the group of committees with budgets less than $2000, have an annual combined budget of $13,025 and have spent through Friday 1/22/21 only $613.19.
