| CLF’s Regional Equity Atlas 2.0 was a complex, multi-faceted project with numerous partners and volunteers and a three-year process of planning, development, and implementation. It is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of all of the project’s costs and revenue sources given the extensive reliance on in-kind contributions throughout the project. This budget overview provides a ballpark estimate of the project’s main revenue sources and expenses. It is intended to offer an order-of- magnitude example. However, every equity atlas project will be different, and these figures should not be viewed as anything other than a rough illustration. |
