Hi folks -
Below is a table of our monthly expenses. I’ve noted when I expect to end each of the services. As I said to Hunter today, it would be nice to have no disbursements out of the campaign account after June 30. That will make reporting easier, but I’m not sure that’s 100% feasible. It’s a goal at least.
A few things to think about:
1. Office Rent: do we want to shutter the office or transfer the lease to the Foundation? I’m sure BPG will give us some flexibly with moving out. If we stay, and make that the foundation office, we’ll probably have to transfer the phones and Comcast over (about $930/month for office overhead). I will discuss this with Hallie tomorrow.
2. Storage unit: The storage unit has a bunch of desks and chairs that can be donated. The old campaign files can be shredded. But there are a number of boxes of business and tax records that will either need to be shredded or moved to Hallie’s house.
3. Database: I’ve asked NGP if they have a non-profit rate for maintaining our database. I think that’s a useful expense.
4. BeauBiden.com: It’s probably worth us keeping that active and have it redirect to the foundation’s website when that is active. BSD hosts it now, and they’d be who I recommend host the foundation site as well. So that will essentially transfer to the foundation.
5. Well & Lighthouse: when we get a fuller idea of how we’re going to stand up the foundation, we may want to consider keeping Well & Lighthouse on a small retainer, just so they can handle our social media and online fundraising. But that will come later. For now, I think we should terminate their consulting retainer June 30.
6. JMA Strategies: I cut my paycheck for June last week. In July, I’ll invoice for July and August.

I’m sure there are other things I’m not thinking of now, but this is at least all the monthly expenses:

Qnectus (phones) $87 End June 30
