A Community Investment
The complete expense budget for the 2008 symposium and subsequent year-round programming totals $173,000. Of those monies, only 8% is posted to overhead costs to cover general expenses such as audits and insurance.
Direct expenses total $76,650. These charges that will be incurred by, and paid into, the community, and include housing costs at the local university, meals for the students and volunteers, printing, and scholarships. Personnel charges total $82,439 for all staff related to the program including communications, program direction, and year-round program coordination.
All funding for the program must be raised on an annual basis with foundation, corporation, and individual gifts so that this program remains accessible to the students. The Hispanic College Fund works closely with our community partners to raise local charitable donations to supplement the national funding opportunities the Fund is able to procure.

-
