[Magdalen] Budgets Question

[Marion Thompson]

What is the practice out there for recording support of Outreach activities?

Our people are generous donors in all sorts of ways beyond Givings.  Our 
Outreach Committee would like a line in the Operating Budget that 
somehow reflects that our  financial plans extend to meeting needs of 
the less fortunate, locally, in the Diocese, nationally and 
internationally.  Does everyone routinely simply record outreach-type 
revenue as an in-out money-raised = money-paid component of Other Income?

One hitch is that our revenue figure as shown in the Operating Budget is 
used for our Diocesan assessment.

Just curious.  We're having a brisk discussion at this end that reflects 
several points of view.
