Christian Survivors Ministries Costs

[Susannah]

This is a list of costs, as near as I can show, for the running of CS. Please note that many of these costs are listed as approximate, because they are not set in stone and will vary from month to month!


The list of permanent costs is a realistic view of what we spend on CS, some of which is covered by donations already, much of which is paid out of pocket by senior staffers.


I have also compiled a list of things we would like to be able to fund, but have as yet been unable to due to lack of funding. The biggest cost of CS is that of the time our staff, in particular the senior staff, give to us. Many of them work full time hours or more on these forums, & deserve to be shown that their work here is valued!
