Since
1993,
the Stream Teams have worked on a shoe string budget. In no year
have we received more than $10,000. In that time, no one has ever
received a salary for their work. Our average yearly budget from
2000 - 2004 has been around $5000. That was bolstered by a large
grant, our last, from Downriver Recycling for $7,500 per year
over two years in 2007 and 2008. Subtracting that out and our
operating expenses drops dramatically. What are the yearly expenses?
Here are a few:
- Insurance
- $ 850
- Tee
shirts - $1500
- Picnic
for students - $350
- Certificates
& mailing - $200
- Wader/gloves/consumables
- $450
- Specific
project equipment and supplies -- $1250/event average
- wood/lumber
- concrete
- benches
- trees/bushes/vegetation
- equipment
rental
- engineering
stakes
- rope/fencing
