FY End Capital Fund Balance

New Plan 2012-13

original plan

• More moderate increase in Operating Budget portion of loan payment

• Uses more capital funds in the next two years• Leaves some reserve throughout• No change in the schedule for the Operating Budget to take

on full payment of loan

• We continue to face the challenge of maintaining our program while increasing debt payment from the operating budget.

Increase in Expenses Implied Pledge

Related to Debt Growth

2012-13 $50,000 - $100,000 4-9%

2013-14 $75,000 7%

2014-15 $100,000 8%

• Recent Pledge growth history has been below this implied growth, although our long-term track record implies this is possible.

2011-12 Operating Budget Performance

• Total pledges were up 4% ($45,000) over 2010-11

• Number of pledging households increased 8%

• Expect to end the year with normal (95%-100%) pledge fulfillment, though a pattern of sluggish pledge payments has emerged

• Costs are in line with expectations

• Cabaret set a new record, netting over $32,000.

• Bottom Line – We expect to finish the year in balance.

Current Year Budget

• Support the Vision of Ministry

• Make prudent structural changes to support core programs while managing expenses

• Continue to retain and support high quality ministers and staff.

• Support member involvement and fundraising to stay on our new course of debt repayment

• Balance the Budget

2012-13 Operating Budget Goals

•Total Revenues – Up 2% (+$35,000)– Pledge Revenue is budgeted to remain flat with 2011-12

• We have 100 fewer pledges than at this time last year• The average pledge is about $100 higher than at this time last year

– Will use one dedicated contribution and one generous bequest in support of our staffing plan ($37,000)

– We expect an increase in Adult RE revenue, due to fees for Quest participants

– Decrease in use of Restricted Funds ($29,000) reflects the end of our use in 2011-12 of a dedicated bequest to support Music/RE

2012-13 Operating Budget – Overview

• General Expenses & Debt Repayment - Up 7% (+26,000)

– Primarily due to ramping up our debt repayment ($50,000)

– Other costs are down 24%• move away from frequent printed guides and catalogs • end of our contract with Dan Hotchkiss.

• Program Expenses – Actual Program remains flat

– Changes in our accounting have effect of 19% increase • Now run outreach offering and Eviction Prevention expenses through

programs• Increase in RE expenses reflects pass through costs (Quest and

Coming of Age)

– We are continuing our current rate of contribution to UUA and CMwD

2012-13 Operating Budget –Overview

• Personnel Related Expenses – Down 3% (-$35,000)

– Structural Change• Leave 50% Social justice position unfilled ($20,000 savings first-year)• Plan early departure of Associate Minister (end of 2012-13 fiscal year) and sun-setting that

ministerial position ($46,500 savings in 2013-14)• Eliminate dental insurance benefit for staff ($11,000 savings)• Reduce senior minister professional expenses

– One-time change to bridge to Associate Minister sunset• One-week staff furlough ($17,000 savings)• Use bequest and special gift ($37,000)

– Will not fund 4 raises we had planned to bring staff in line with local and professional compensation standards

2012-13 Operating Budget – Overview

Summary

• Significant staff changes make 2012-13 a challenging transitional year

• Finding the capacity to handle our debt payments is a continuing challenge over the next 3 years, and is exacerbated by the slow pledge growth we’ve been seeing.

• The proposed budget for next year reflects hard choices about the best way to meet our mission given these challenges.

• Pledge growth (driven both by new member growth and increases to average pledges) needs to improve to prevent future painful choices

• The keys to making this process easier going forward are deepening member engagement, growth in new members, and new sources of funding.
