YGS Wish
List
As there are many
items listed here some are more important than
others. Being an Internet-based organization,
computer hardware is definately on our wish list.
An ultimate wish list would include the best of the
best in computer hardware, but we will gladly
accept any computer hardware that we can put to use
on our network. We would like to deploy a
distributed server environment, where certain tasks
are delegated by individual servers, so we need
several computers. We are open to any and all
suggestions.
Staff
Support
Our
biggest wish list item, is of monetary support
for our staff. We would like to be able to pay a
staff of 3 to 4 people to help get our
organization off the ground. We estimate this to
cost anywhere between $100,000 - $180,000 to
cover insurance, salary, and benefits. This
staff would operate all our national projects
and programs.
Operating
Support
As we
can continue to work out of our homes in the
infancy of the organization, there will be a
time when we will require an office. This will
obviously be a big ticket item to add to our
budget. We will need to to consider office rent,
insurance, security, and general office
expenses.
Program
Develop and Support / Marketing
Our
programs will require evaluation and studies of
effectiveness in order to qualify for future
grants and programs. New programs may require
additional human resources and/or computer
resources. Outreach beyond the Internet may be
possible, with printed publications, of which
will present a new cost to the organization.
Marketing materials for the organization may
also include printed publications, advertising,
and additional non-Internet-based
outreach.
