BOARD-APPROVED WCE FY’04 BUDGET

 

The proposed WCE FY’04 budget includes the Evaluation Project but the budget for the African Universities Initiative (AUI) has been approved by the Board separately and will be integrated when funded.  The proposed budget is balanced and makes the following assumptions: 

 

A new column showing projections for FY’04 has been added to the charts below:

 

1.       Balanced budget

2.       No raises for anyone

3.       All prior “loss leader” shipments are now completed

4.       10 expense contingency (we needed 8.5 last year on expenses)

5.       No repayment of any of WCE’s prior debt – unless there are additional shipments

6.       Increases in revenues and expenses to cover 19 40-foot container shipments up from 9.8 in FY’03 (not counting 2 containers for Ecuador) (FY’04 projected growth in # of computers is 193 vs. 206 FY’03)

7.       Revenue: FY’04 projected growth is 251 vs. 245 growth for FY’03.

8.       Expense: FY’04 projected growth is 183 vs. 170 growth for FY’03

9.       Additions of six new part-time hourly staff to help with logistics in 6 WCE offices (Boston, San Francisco, Miami, Seattle, Washington DC, and Stockholm) and a small amount to fund projects by our AUI and Evaluation Directors (they fund be paid more when AUI is funded)
