Breakdown of Costs for the Women Priests’ Project

In our women priests’ campaign
we work almost entirely as volunteers who have freely given up payment for our services. Most members of our core team and our international cooperators work on a voluntary basis! Only one team member, our office administrator, receives a (small) salary because his full-time services are indispensable.

We incur expenses
because we need to maintain a small central office where the core team can correlate the work of our world-wide volunteers and complete the editing of documents for inclusion on our website. The work requires research to identify suitable material, retrieve texts, scan them into the computer, obtain permissions, edit the texts on printing mistakes, convert the texts to html-format, and link the texts within the structure of our site. Our annual costs amount to � 50,000 a year (= $ 80,000).

We offer here a
breakdown of these annual costs
based on our accounts of the last two years.
