[Lnc-business] Draft Budget

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

This is my first time with the yearly budget, so I apologize if I have dumb
questions, and also if these are better to just ask at the meeting let me
know, but I do have some basic questions about the first page for now:

Why are 2013 and 2015 given as baselines to compare, but not 2014?
What is the basis for thinking recurring gifts will be higher in 2017?
(line 22)
What is project program revenue? (line 25)
I see building fundraising costs for 2015 of $15,304.00 (line 37)- anyone
know how much we raised from those efforts? (and I note we have a $0 for
that this year even though our PM says this is a priority)
What is causing the big jump in compensation?
