Ad Hoc Committee Organizational Funds Analysis & Review
Annual Report
 

Goals
  • Safeguard solvency
  • Support Group’s Objectives as stated in the MDMLG Constitution
  • Provide benefit for all Group members

 

Recommendations

1.  Recommend keeping 2x yearly expenses on hand in savings & checking account.

For this year, that amount kept on hand would have been $10,750.
5 year average of expenses = $5,375
2 x 5,375 = $10,750

2.  Recommend any overage invested in a Certificate of Deposit (CD) in the organization’s name or names of Treasurer & Secretary.

For this year, that amount would have been $3,725

$14,474.86 total funds as of August 29, 2000

- 10,750.00 amount to keep on hand

$3,725.00 invest

3.  Recommend interest income from CD be deposited into the checking account to offset expenses accrued during the year.

4.  Treasurer responsible for maintaining CD investments. Split funds into 2 CDs so ½ the money is available every 6 months, to increase access to funds should an emergency arise.

5.  Money from investment is reflected in financial reports (balance sheet, Treasurer’s report) as income

The income will offset some of the declines in membership renewals and increase in expenses. It may push back the need to increase dues. It will not replace the need for members and membership drives. It may allow the Group to present quality programming to draw in current and potential members.
