During the recent Leadership Retreat in Indianapolis, the Council approved a budget for the operation of GLAD Alliance during 2005. Program and administrative expenditures have been estimated at $41,600 with fundraising and other cash generating activities providing an estimated $27,350 to support these activities. The $14,250 difference between estimated expenses and resources will be funded with an anticipated surplus from 2004 operations.
The budget does not include expenditures for a proposed Open & Affirming Ministries training program which was tentatively approved by the Council with guidelines including the development of measurable objectives and reduced costs. Once the proposal has been revised to meet the Council’s guidelines, the 2005 budget will be revised to reflect fundraising and anticipated expenditures associated with the O&A training program.
