Copy of
the 2007 Grant Request
Below are the figures of our 2007 grant
request to the BG and some general points to make sure we're all on the
same page.
BG REQUIREMENTS. Once again, we must spend all of these
funds for 1) what was requested (so that it doesn't become a matter of
people going fishing to see what they might get) and 2) by Dec. 31, 2007
(the end of the fiscal year even though we oftentimes don't receive the
funds until late in the year). Receipts
for these expenses (for the total requested not granted) are due the end of March 2008.
APPLICATION PROCESS. Bob Echeverria for
several years drafted the grant application, then I (John Ysursa) joined
him in the endeavor. For the 2007 request below, I developed this
on his own and I don't doing this--it's not good for me (you catch flak)
or for NABO (not good having just one person make these decisions).

2007 DISBURSEMENTS. Grants are rarely
fully funded. This year we received approximately 88% of what was
requested (though the Euro surge minimized this). The last few
years, NABO officers opted to take the easier route and just cut each
specific request. So again for 2007, each category (see below) was
trimmed by 12%. This isn't necessarily the best route, however,
because some projects have to be fully funded (whereas others are more
flexible). As facilitator I had a conflict of interest with
separately deciding the totals. That is why other voices will be
beneficial in this matter.
