This is the process the Board currently follows, and it will improve the details of this process as we begin taking our first steps.
- The Board Chair is accountable for ensuring the Board understands its budget.
- Subcommittees (or individual board members) make proposals for funding to the Board.
- The Board takes a vote on whether to fund each proposal.
- If proposals are accepted, the Board will delegate the implementation of the proposal to a subcommittee or individual on the Board.
- If subcommittees are responsible for implementing a proposal, then a majority vote of the Governing Board members on the subcommittee makes decision about how to spend the funds, as long as it is under the total amount in the proposal.
How to submit a proposal for funding¶
- Go to this proposal template
- Duplicate it into a new document (it should be placed in the
Funding Proposalsfolder in the Board’s Google Drive). - Follow the instructions in the template.
