[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main thing is that Field gives no FA.[/quote]

Except for the part where the spring fundraising event is solely to raise money for financial aid, and on their website it say: For the 2023-24 school year, Field allocated $2.75 million in financial aid to 20% of our students, with an average award of $39,275.  [/quote]

Yep that's the grand event..where the genius Field HOS (who is hiring yet another fundraising exec) netted a grand total of $31k per the 990...

Burke is more generous--15.8% of revenues go to FA while closer to 12% go to FA at Field. The HOS at Field is also paid almost twice what the HOS of Burke is paid. [/quote]

Wow you have some pent-up frustration. My point was simply correcting the previous post that field gives zero financial aid. That is clearly not the case. But also, A: you don’t know how to interpret a 990. This year over $425k was raised that evening. The net will be a lot more than $31k: B: That’s incorrect. The development director has been there at least 2 years. C: Burke has less revenue to give, but even if it was equal you want squabble over 3.8%?  Field is still over half a million dollars higher in total FA dollars. I’d say they’re both fairly generous. [/quote]

Ummm.... it's you that doesn't understand how to interpret the 990 - under special events revenue under Dare to be Field it shows that most of what was raised went to cover expenses.[/quote]
