Down to Earth/ConFest expenditure is managed through a series of annual appropriations and then distributed according to budgets approved through CC, OC, ConFab, Market or Board. Budgets are approved during committee meetings
An approved budget is required for any expenditure to be approved
Applying for a budget is not the same as applying for a DTE Debit Card.

2. Infrastructure

How do you determine who gets funding in a tight environment?
4. Co-operative
