15. So the financial bottom line is… The Celtic Arts Foundation has developed a strong Balance Sheet. (No money, no mission!) For the 11 th straight year, CAF has generated a surplus from operations. We own the property and building at 1124 Cleveland Avenue outright; and are building financial reserves Focus on organizational development and careful planning and implementation of systems for coordinated and strategic growth.

16. And our mission “bottom line…” Expanding Celtic musical and cultural activities (slowly, strategically and carefully!). Producing world-class performances. Encouraging and promoting our culture and heritage in formal and informal ways!

17. Commitment to Sustaining CAF James “Doc” Monroe Endowment fund The need for donors of ALL capacities to continue supporting our work Major donor commitments to assist in the funding of operations Planned giving and other programs are being established Balancing mission programs and opportunities with financial realities Pursuit of grants and opportunities consistent with our purpose
