Finances

The Alumni Association needs your dues to operate.  Our fundraisers help, but they don’t cover all operating costs.  All of our costs are increasing, but dues for the Alumni Association remain as they have for quite some time - $10 per year.  In 2022, only $1465 came into our organization via dues to the Alumni Association.  Considering the electricity bill alone is more than that, you begin to see our financial situation. Life Memberships and profits from our brick sales cover our wifi, phones, website, and software bills.  The entire amount that the Scholarship Committee brings in through their Silent Auction goes to the costs of the scholarship programs. 

 

This year, Chautauqua Institution is implementing a new policy for use of their facilities and spaces by community groups.  The Alumni Association is a community group, therefore, our costs for Eventides and the Great American Picnic will increase quite a bit, as we will now need to cover the cost of renting those spaces, as well as tables, chairs, and sound or video equipment needed for any of our presentations. 

The bottom line is our expected expenses are currently twice what our expected revenue is.  Please remember to pay your dues and if you can afford to give more, it will ease our burdens just that much.  We appreciate the support of your Alumni Association.

Also, we are now taking brick orders for installation for the 2024 season. You may print a brick form HERE.  You may order a brick, stole, or a copy of Chautauqua's Heart, our history book, online HERE.
