Hoi, As I am of the opinion that there is a causal relation, and as I am equally allowed to express my opinion, I can and do blame. When you are of the opinion that this is not nice. Well, it only proves that it is not a zero sum game. I hope we will get enough money to cover the budget if not their will necessarily be cuts.
The budget wasn't met last time either, was it? Looking back it seems like less than half the budget was raised during the entire fiscal year, and the foundation only spent about half of that ($1.4 million raised, only 0.7 million in expenses).
These supposed budgets look completely unrealistic to me. I assumed that was intentional. Ask for way more than you need, and then settle for half that. It's a common strategy.
