Contents
In the bank[edit | edit source]
See possible banks at Bank Account
Expenses[edit | edit source]
Startup[edit | edit source]
- $? Security deposit (dependent on location)
- $170 (+$50 to expedite) Incorporating in the state of Maryland
- $750? Filing for 501(c)3 status with the IRS (unsure on this number)
- $? Furniture (probably mostly donations)
- $? Equipment/tools (probably mostly donations/loans from members.)
Operating[edit | edit source]
A good rule of thumb would be to have 3 months operating in the bank at any given time.
- $600 - $2000 Rent
- $100 - $450 Utilities
- $60 annually PO Box (Post Office) $240 annually Small Mailbox @ UPS Store
- Boxes available at the UPS Store on Lombard street that would give us a permanent street address
- $1000+ annually Insurance (to indemnify leadership & members). I found a quote of $350 and up for general liability and $650 and up for D and O (directors and officers) insurance annually.
Revenue[edit | edit source]
The most up to date revenue estimates are on this spreadsheet.
Dues[edit | edit source]
Add your name here if you are willing to commit to being a member at this point. This will help us estimate our initial monthly revenues. Put the maximum amount you would be willing to pay for dues in parenthesis after your name. This will help us find the sweet spot for monthly dues, which may end up being less than you're willing to pay!
- Jon Lesser ($75)
- Sylvia Chi ($50)
- Adam Bachman ($75)
- Kelly Egan ($100)
- Matthew Forr ($80)
- Mark Huson ($75)
- Steve Stowell ($75)

- Matt Shirley ($40)
- David Cummings ($80)
Cost per member of potential operating costs per Month[edit | edit source]

| 8 | $75 | $100 | $125 | $150 | $188 | $250 |
| 10 | $60 | $80 | $100 | $120 | $150 | $200 |

| 30 | $20 | $27 | $33 | $40 | $50 | $67 |
Donations[edit | edit source]
If you are willing and able to make a donation to the Node, add your name here along with the amount. The donations will go to things like security deposit, incorporation fees, supplies, equipment, outreach, and other non-recurring costs. Donations will likely be tax deductible if we get our initial 501(c)(3) letter from the IRS this year.

- Adam Bachman ($300)
- Kelly Egan ($300)
- Mark Huson ($300)

Useful links[edit | edit source]
Services for accepting Money[edit | edit source]
Member can conveniently go into credit card debt paying their dues thanks to these online services. All of these allow recurring billing, handle invoicing, etc. If we end up working with the Fusion Group, they might have their own methods for collecting money.
