As far as I am aware USATF has not yet given any of the Sports Committees their total budget amounts this year. It is a “top-down” process with the Committees probably being informed of their approved budget amounts at the USATF Annual Meeting. Thus, I have no idea of what funds the MTF Committee will actually get from USATF for 2010. It is hard to create a realistic budget under this situation.
As a result, I have created a proposed MTF 2010 budget that assumes the MTF funds from USATF stay approximately the same. The 2010 amounts reflect 2009 budget amounts, actual expenses, requests, and foreseen expenses.
Key changes in the proposed budget are as follows:
1) The regional facilities and clinics budgets are slightly increased and transferred directly to each region;
2) Site selection has been given a $1,000 budget to find sites compared to $0 in 2009;
3) The throws budget is increased to reflect throws funds independent of other MTF funds;
4) Awards and Hall of Fame budgets has been increased to cover expected shortfalls in expense;
5) Website budget has been increased $500 to help cover expenses;
6) The Media Budget has been increased $2,000 to allow coverage of the WMA Indoor Championships; and
7) An increase in the Active Athlete budget by $300 to assist in covering shortfalls.
Many expenses come in after the Annual Meeting. Until all expenses are booked, I am unable to know exactly how much of the 2009 budget will be spent and how much carry-over funds that MTF will have. I have tried to give a realistic estimate of the funds available from 2009 that will be available in 2010.
In a worst case scenario, I expect over $30,000 of MTF “independent” surcharge and other funds to cover shortfalls in this budget. If we get an increase in budget, we can choose to make increases in some areas or protect and build the MTF independent funds. My approach will be to use program, committee, and supplemental funds, where possible, prior to surcharge funds. This will protect the MTF “independent” surcharge funds to the maximum extend possible for a future budget crisis or having some independent funds to accomplish future priorities.
I am sending this proposed budget for your review prior to the Annual Meeting. This is a proposal, not a given. The final budget must be approved at the Annual Meeting. Please review and get back to me if you identify any “mistakes”.
If you see any members of the executive committee that are missed in this distribution list, please forward this email to them.
For your review, I have provided an Excel file of the proposed budget and have listed its contents below:
