6. Explanation of Income Variances
• Grants: Due to a desire to move away from relying on grants and move
towards the more sustainable models of earned income, the Grants income
has decreased by 15%
• Pioneering (Sponsored Chairs and CEPs): With the 4 new CEP sales this
year there is a significant increase in the already guaranteed income for the
programs. With the expected sales of a minimum of three new CEPs during
the 2011 Fiscal Year (for the 2012 Fiscal Year), plus a new model of
payments which require first installments upon signing of contracts, the
budgeted CEP income has increased by 288%.

initiative with online ads that will bring in a significant amount of income for
the organization. This new initiative accounts for an increase in income of

potential investors and donors. In order to do this we hope to build out some new
techniques including videos and attend new conferences. The Development budgeted
expenses, because of the two above mentioned reasons, has increased by 125%
