Budget and Funding
The budget outlined below represents the needs for the first year of operation with optimum full-time staffing and service delivery. It anticipates donated office space for three people, including basic furniture. It sets forth the critical items which would most likely be negotiated with the host, or perhaps provided in-kind from another source. Alternatively, staff positions could be part time, internships, shared with the host, or contracted services.

Funding
Start-up funding will be necessary to get the project off the ground. Clearly the membership fees will not sustain the organization. Underwriting of the web site, reports and other services should be sought. In particular manufactures, industries that produce materials and services used in the production of public art projects should be approached for underwriting. It is anticipated that some services may be offered a fee to members and the public to defray the expense. Likewise foundations should be approached to support initial operating costs.
