2010 Diocesan Budget
Proposed 2010 Diocesan Budget
for Mission and Ministry
December 8, 2009
The proposed 2010 Annual Operating Budget of the Diocese is essentially a steady-state budget. It has been developed using the following principal assumptions.
Revenues
Congregational Giving
Goal of overall increase of 2.0% in congregational giving compared to 2009
Bishop’s Appeal
Increased estimate based on actual experience in 2008 and expected experience in 2009
Soper Income
No change in annual amount of Soper Income from recent years. Budgeted level represents approximately $80,000 less than the level of Soper Income actually received in 2009. In other words, this budget assumes that we will accumulate this unused Soper Income for future use.
Expenses
Personnel
Assumes no COLA or other increases to Diocesan staff salaries. Savings Reflect Staff Restructuring from 2009. Reflects anticipated increase in cost of health insurance for 2010. Church House employee cost-sharing for health insurance premiums remains at 10%.
Giving to ECUSA
21% of base year Diocesan Operating Income other than Soper.
