The Funding (Expenses & Donations)
|
1000 Voices is funded solely
by donations from individuals. It is not sponsored or financially
supported by any religious or corporate organization. I have set up a
bank account solely for the purpose of 1000 Voices.
Since the
inception of 1000 Voices I have fully funded the event upfront
myself.
However, with the generous spirit of so many I have been very
blessed to recoup many of
my expenes. For example in 2004 expenses ran about
$5500, and I received nearly $3500 in donation at the event.
If there is a surplus (donations exceed expenses), it will go
into the 1000 Voices bank account, and be used the following
year.
Expenses have averaged $5000+ the past 6 years.
The expenses for the 2006 event were as follows:
 |
Song Books |
$2,797.66 |
| Travel Expenses | $1,017.60 |
| Rental of Facility |
$1,624.95 |

I do not plan on ever charging admission for 1000 Voices. In order
to recover expenses for 1000 Voices each year, I ask individuals
for donations. In order to provide people
with something to remember the weekend, we put together our own song
booklets every year,
and record the event. I do not sell these items, but I will be glad to
provide copies in exchange for a small donation to help cover the
expenses.
