BUILDING A MODEL • FINANCIAL OPERATING MODEL: • Reserve on hand will be no more than 50% of annual operating budget (6 months) • Excess reserve should be considered for investment in capital programs. • Capital planning meeting shall be held between October – December. Capital spending shall be voted on at that time. • Policy for Team fees, tournament entry (see next slide) *** A commonly used reserve goal is 3-6 months' expenses. At the high end, reserves should not exceed the amount of two years' budget. At the low end, reserves should be enough to cover at least one full payroll.
