Example 1: Timeline for Staff and Financial Sustainability Committee


Below, you'll see an example of a timeline that can be used for the formation of your financial committee. See Tools for a blank form you can download and use for your own organization.

By February 1, 1999, project staff will identify individuals who will serve on the Financial Sustainability Committee.

By April 1, 1999, the Director will recruit members for the committee and schedule the first meeting.

By the first meeting of the Financial Sustainability Committee, the administrative assistant will locate or develop materials that will be used to facilitate the meeting.

By June 1, 1999, the Director will hold the first meeting of the committee.

By September 1, 1999, members of the committee will have identified organizations/individuals to approach and determined the amount that will be requested of each. The committee will begin to contact these organizations/individuals.

By December 1, 1999, committee members will have contacted all organizations and individuals identified as potential contributors.

Once all potential contributors have been contacted, the financial coordinator will develop a forecasting budget that will reflect the areas in which resources have been obtained.
