We have at least a $2 million dollar commitment to CHAI every year, a $2.1 million dollar commitment to the Alliance,  $4.3 million in unreimbursed costs at the Clinton Presidential Center, and general operating costs of approximately $14.5 million.  Next year, we are looking at an additional $2.5 million for Haiti above what is currently in our Haiti fund.  We are also considering what we should be doing in the climate space.  What is currently being proposed would cost an additional $2.5 million — $1.6 million for a domestic retrofit program (both commercial and residential) and $900,000 for solar and alternative energy.

Subject: Fundraising Priorities for 2012

Bruce and John,

Hope all is well.  I’m putting together the Development Office’s fundraising plan and schedule for next year, and it would be extremely helpful to have a clearer understanding of the Foundation’s overall priorities for 2012.  For example, our expected financial commitments to certain initiatives for next year, any new projects on the horizon that may tap into our CF donor base, etc.  In addition, I’d like to have a quick chat about the permanent endowment fund campaign plan that I’ve been drafting.

Could we do a call at your convenience, ideally before the holidays?

Thanks!

Dennis
