This week I've been working on a proposal for the Southern Documentary Fund for fiscal sponsorship. Which means I'm asking them to be my non-profit fiscal sponsor so I can apply for funding from private foundations. Having a fiscal sponsor allows individuals to take a tax deduction for contributions they make to the project.
So I've been working on a budget and a fundraising plan for the Mantra Trailer. What a lot of work! I kept thinking of my friend Ann's mantra - YOU GOT TO GO THROUGH IT TO GET TO IT. She is the director of a local arts organization called the Scrap Exchange. I have a greater appreciation for her mantra and the work that she does to keep the Scrap alive and well. Ann also coined the mantra CULTURE ISN'T FREE.
Well here's the budget grand total - remember it includes everything - the car, the trailer, the recording equipment, the interior, the exterior, technical assistance, web design and maintenance, travel per diem for 6 months and my time - $63,250.00! That's right. CULTURE ISN'T FREE.
Here are the budget details. I hope you will give!
