This page describes the current % allocations of our budget. See Funding priorities for more information about the goals and outcomes this budget is meant to support.
Budget allocations are distributed in 2 phases:
Half 1 (H1, January - June)
Half 2 (H2, July - December)
Any unspent funds remaining at the end of the half will be returned to the general pool for mid-year reallocation.
Amendments to budget allocations may be approved with a vote from the board, with input from the Treasurer and Board Chair, and financial validation from the LF Program Manager and Accountant.
