Goal F: To be a fiscally competent and administratively responsible organization and have the financial resources to assure NAWM’s ongoing and future operations.

Activities for achieving Goal F:

• There is a written fiscal policy and financial guidelines and procedures for staff and officers. Income and expenses are tracked accurately.

• There is an active fundraising program. We have written and implemented a fundraising plan. The plan seeks to draw income from diversified sources - foundations, government, individual contributions, memberships, businesses, workshops and other earned income.

• The current annual work plan is reviewed and the upcoming plan approved at each March Board meeting. The Secretary/Treasurer is actively involved in oversight of finances and provides the Board with quarterly reports on aggregated income and expenses. The Board approves the annual budget.

• Develop an attractive, professional funding request package to be used in soliciting support for the association.

• Actively utilize our website to request support for Association activities. (Note: For example this could include securing corporate sponsors for “Wetland Breaking News.”)
