Projected Year-end Balance
By 2016, we hope to call on our capital fund for a roof replacement (2014) and organ improvement (2016). These projects are within our reach if we meet the challenge to pay our mortgage from operating funds by 2014-15.

• Our other sources of revenue generate a combined $440,000.
•The use of over $70,000 in restricted funding (primarily for RE, Music, and Quest) has allowed us to avoid cutting back those programs this year.

• Debt service is not a flexible expense.

Operating Budget compromises
• Children’s RE, music, and Quest sustained this year by restricted funding
• Social justice position is only half-time• Fundraising professional is only half-time• UUA denominational contribution is at 5% of
recommended level

Summary
• Finding the capacity to handle our debt payments is a continuing challenge over the next 3-4 years – we need at least growth in pledges to avoid difficult decisions each year that will impact staff and programs.
• Programs are sustained this year by the use of earlier directed gifts and dedicated fundraising We recognize it will be difficult to maintain this level of spending next
year.
• Managing the transition to full debt repayment: Deepening member engagement, Growth in new members, and New sources of funding.
