Basic funding needs have been determined by a total project budget estimate of $1,246,800. Such estimates have been based on the continued maintenance of the online forum, research and analysis, a minimum of four events and reports to be executed throughout the course of 2008 and the commencement of establishing model communities based on the project findings. Increased funding will result in increased project activity.
