Fundraising at ICJS -- FY07
(September 1, 2006 - August 31, 2007)
The Institute for Christian & Jewish Studies fiscal year runs from September 1 through August 31. Operations are made possible through program income (fees, book sales, and a portion of endowment earnings) and contributions (annual funding and project grants). In FY07, the ICJS operated with a budget that covered income and costs of $760,122 (unaudited figure).
Contributions:
Annual Fund contributions are unrestricted funds. This total includes $30,433 in 20th anniversary grants, which were included in the annual fund totals.
FY07 Project Grants: $78,500 -- 10% of operating costs. Project Grants were designated for and re-
stricted to specific ICJS program initiatives, including:
WYPR/"Encounters" ($20,000)
This year the ICJS sponsored a series of radio segments entitled "Encounters." Produced and hosted by ICJS Executive Director Chris Leighton, the program presented topics and interviews around religious issues in today's society. This program was underwritten in part by a grant from the Osprey Foundation.
Reclaiming the Center/The Scandal of Particularity ($55,400)
A joint project with the Institute for Reformed Theology, this program provides a forum for Jews and Christians to assist one another in the re-examination of central religious concepts that, when neglected, contribute to the loss of the center. Because claims of God's unique presence are often enlisted to fortify extremist positions, this project focuses on claims regarding the uniqueness of the divine presence in both Judaism and Christianity. The program consists of six sessions and will run through June of 2008.
What Jews and Christians Need to Know About Islam ($1,000)
A four-part lecture series in which ICJS hosted four noted speakers on Islam.
Endowment and Program Income:
Each year the endowment may contribute up to 4.5% of its market value to our operating fund.
FY07 Program Fees and Book Sales: $21,327 -- 2.8% of operating costs.
