| Amigos Bravos' Cash Reserve Fund |
| Amigos Bravos' Cash Reserve Fund is Amigos Bravos' insurance against hard times. The Cash Reserve Fund is money set aside to ensure that the organization can survive cash flow shortages in the annual operating budget. It can only be accessed for certain purposes, such as meeting payroll or for emergency capital outlay. There are strict guidelines on when and how money from the fund can be used. Any use of money from the Fund requires approval from the Board of Directors. This Fund is a hedge against hard times, ensuring that Amigos Bravos will stay healthy and able to pursue its mission.
Our Cash Reserve account was opened in March 1998 with a $15,000 grant from the Ruth Mott Fund. Thanks to generous contributions of our members and the $5,082 proceeds of Brian Shields, Unframed, the interest bearing account now has a balance of over $35,600. Our goal is to bring the balance up to $50,000.00.
Please consider making a contribution to the Amigos Bravos Cash Reserve Fund. |
