Additional Supporting Material(s) Required
Expenses
Attached is an Expense Model spreadsheet that reflects a call center's estimated expenses. The expenses are calculated based on the estimated population size and historical startup data from other 2-1-1 call centers. Since the expenses in the spreadsheet are estimated, please change the expenses to reflect your costs for each line item. Any modifications of estimated expenses +/- 10% must be explained in a separate narrative.
Revenue
The funding sources worksheet with your projected sources of revenue must be completed. (Letters of Intent from sources of revenue identified are required)
Deadline for Supporting Materials
The Expense Model along with the explanation narrative and letters of intent from funders and other attachments should be emailed no later than 5:00 p.m. CST, February 15, 2013 to: 211illinoisreviewcommittee@gmail.com
The Application and Expense Model are based upon standards set by the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS) and financial planning tools developed by United Way Worldwide.
