We had higher individual donations than usual this year, which may be related to supporting the SW Michigan TREX which helped get our name out. $1,421.00 of the budgetted $21,720 grant funds for the year was used; the remaining will roll over into the next fiscal year but we must be used the entirety of the $50,720.00 by Sept 2026. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/a8e5e888-4d2d-4ece-a040-f1590f32a303/FY24+Q4+Expenses.jpg Steering Committee Notes - 10 September 2024 Quarterly MPFC Meeting - Make it stand out Administrative and Burning Issues were the largest expenses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/addca425-7fed-476f-bd68-c308bfc73b84/FY18-24+trend+lines.jpg Steering Committee Notes - 10 September 2024 Quarterly MPFC Meeting - Make it stand out This was the first year since COVID epidemic that we ended with a net positive balance.

Sponsorships came in about the same as last year with a few returning sponsors and a few new. Merchandise sales were as expected. Despite offering 40% of participants free or discounted tickets, ticket revenue was still good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/06819b7f-021f-49f2-a48d-63a97a8e99ce/FY24+Q2+Income+Report.PNG Steering Committee Notes - March 12, 2024 MPFC Quarterly Meeting - Make it stand out Total Income is at $13,733.44 of the budgeted $42,220.00 annual income. Burning Issues sponsors came in lower than expected but we made good revenue off ticket sales and as expected on merchandise sales. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/3ec5ee90-669a-4bb3-9ea3-6d5a2459d539/FY24+Q2+Expense+Report.PNG Steering Committee Notes - March 12, 2024 MPFC Quarterly Meeting - Make it stand out We have spent $7,411.51 of the $37,720.00 annual budget. Highest expenses are for administrative time (though this is now at a discounted half rate compared to last year), burning issues expense, and restocking merchandise (more t-shirts, pens, and stickers). https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2024/2/19/mpfc-24th-annual-meeting-notes-feb-7-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/893be146-3ef4-43a6-9f39-244a56f26125/MPFC+BI24+Social.PNG Steering Committee Notes - MPFC 24th Annual Meeting Notes - Feb 7, 2024 - Make it stand out Social Hour and Silent Auction at Burning Issues Workshop 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/cfdd3eaf-4c35-4160-8b4c-f3938b431867/2024+MPFC+Members+Recognition.PNG Steering Committee Notes - MPFC 24th Annual Meeting Notes - Feb 7, 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2023/12/19/quarter-1-mpfc-council-meeting-notes-12523 monthly 0.5 2023-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/e26c3af8-d1ad-409c-9a29-c1466606c856/20231205_133357.jpg Steering Committee Notes - Quarter 1 - MPFC Council Meeting Notes 12/5/23 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/d9b81104-2340-4119-b0ea-faa6fe232d73/FY24+Proposed+Budget+v2.PNG Steering Committee Notes - Quarter 1 - MPFC Council Meeting Notes 12/5/23 - Make it stand out The proposed budget includes a new 3 year grant to cover costs of public outreach and training events.

Revenue mainly came from trainings and annual meeting/Burning Issues. Some years of high expense such as 2018 were for one-time purchases such as a screen and projector. *Note data may be lacking or inaccurate for years prior to 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/66e1dd68-96a5-4c71-8569-42c2392a9641/Historical+Revenue+Flows+2004-2021.PNG Steering Committee Notes - 23 AUG 2022 - Quarterly MPFC Steering Committee Meeting Notes - Make it stand out Revenue flows mainly came from S-130/S-190 trainings and annual Burning Issues Workshops. Merchandise brought in a decent amount in 2021 but can not be relied on for generating annual revenue. Finding other stable sources of income such as grants or sponsors/donors would be beneficial. *Note data may be lacking or inaccurate for years prior to 2020.

Current funding for the admin has come from a sponsor organization but they cannot continue to invest so much moving forward. Learn & Burn event planning/coordination of admin was funded by White Oak Grant. White Oak Grant only goes through 2023. Council agreed upon MPFC funding admin for BI23 planning and coordination for this FY22 as that is the bulk of admin time, estimated 18 hours $1,000. The rest of the MPFC admin time will be funded by the sponsor until we revisit revenue options such as grants. https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2022/7/13/71322-mpfc-chair-election-meeting monthly 0.5 2022-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/0746858d-c919-4e09-84c6-75775721918a/By+Laws+on+Chair.png Steering Committee Notes - 7.13.22 MPFC Chair Election Meeting - Make it stand out Current MPFC By Laws on Chair and other Officers https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2022/5/26/quarterly-mpfc-steering-committee-meeting-may-24-2022 monthly 0.5 2022-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/224ea316-1b66-4477-a6a6-4f0c635dfae4/PCCI_IMG_1485.jpg Steering Committee Notes - Quarterly MPFC Steering Committee Meeting May 24, 2022 - Make it stand out Image by Pierce Cedar Creek Institute https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/e99f37d4-c2c0-445b-b7c7-79fd38fb0e99/Q1+FY22+MPFC+Summary.PNG Steering Committee Notes - Quarterly MPFC Steering Committee Meeting May 24, 2022 - Make it stand out FY22 Quarter 1 Summary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/1d5a5baf-71de-48de-b17e-bfe3e63d0345/Learn+%26+Burn+PCCI+4June2022+%284%29.png Steering Committee Notes - Quarterly MPFC Steering Committee Meeting May 24, 2022 - Make it stand out Learn & Burn: Public Fire Demonstration & Activities — Michigan Prescribed Fire Council https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2022/3/1/22-feb-2022-mpfc-quarterly-steering-committee-meeting-notes monthly 0.5 2022-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/4d02fa20-5e38-41a0-95d6-fe6acab16e95/BurnIssues22.png Steering Committee Notes - 22 FEB 2022 MPFC Quarterly Steering Committee Meeting Notes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/1644330045767-AD2E5YF1K89OFQMJN7HU/Merch2022.PNG Steering Committee Notes - 22 FEB 2022 MPFC Quarterly Steering Committee Meeting Notes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/e2b133db-ba0d-4334-8489-9a2acde00527/FY21+Events+Bar+Graph.png Steering Committee Notes - 22 FEB 2022 MPFC Quarterly Steering Committee Meeting Notes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2021/12/1/113021-quarterly-steering-committee-meeting-notes monthly 0.5 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/e65add56-19e3-4564-84f7-bdae0b7fd09f/PokagonBand-postburn.JPG Steering Committee Notes - 11/30/21 Quarterly Steering Committee Meeting Notes - Make it stand out Post-burn image by Pokagon Band of Potawatomi https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2021/8/31/83121-steering-committee-meeting-notes monthly 0.5 2021-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/1630436085583-3KBGFQ2YVW42BDIFSV5O/unsplash-image--98jVaVuGv0.jpg Steering Committee Notes - 8.31.21 Steering Committee Meeting Notes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2021/5/28/may-25-steering-committee-meeting-notes monthly 0.5 2021-09-02 https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2021/5/24/steering-committee-quarterly-meeting-may-25-2021-agenda monthly 0.5 2021-09-02 https://www.firecouncil.org/committee-notes/2021/4/26/a-message-from-the-chair monthly 0.5 2021-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4d2e54010027562ffbfcbc/1619468102003-3S0KT48PG100YVR09GX5/10.+Critical+Fire.JPG Steering Committee Notes - A Message from the Chair Andy using a drip torch to start a fire line.
