Thanks for your response. I have two follow up questions if that’s ok.
Suppose GWWC successfully completes it’s fundraiser, but then identifies some very attractive new projects, that the CEA Trustees agree are exceptionally high value. Would the Trustees be willing/able to use the discretionary fund to help support them?
At the moment part of GWWC’s budget goes towards shared CEA central expenses, like rent and HR. Is this likely to increase in future? (i.e. is CEA central likely to hire anyone else, or GWWC’s share increase ? )
Yes—that would fall under ‘grants to things we think are awesome’.
The budget in the document includes our portion of hiring a new staff for central, because CEA has been expanding and we expect to need that capacity next year. The office is unlikely to get much more expensive—we’re hoping to sign another contract for 3 years soon. GWWC’s share of central is likely if anything to fall, because it’s becoming a smaller proportion of CEA given other new projects (early in 2014 we were paying 50% of central, but now GPP and EAO each pay a share).
We’re very happy to answer questions!
