So what does your GORC Family Fee cover? Where does the money go? What about improvements in the park? Many of you have asked these questions and we wanted to make them available for you so you can understand how our organization works.
Did you know?
GORC's operating costs are barely covered by the maintenance grant from the county. It covers less than 11% of our operating costs and less than 16% of our maintenance costs. Therefore, it is family fees that allow the park to be maintained and the organization to be able to function.
Registration costs within each sport only cover the costs associated with playing that particular sport (i.e. league fees, uniforms, equipment, referee fees, etc.). Sport commissioners are required to submit an annual budget to the Board of Directors for approval to ensure that the sport is self-sufficient and can cover its own operating costs.
Finally, this leaves very little to make any capital improvements around the park and try to improve our facilities. In the coming year, we plan on increasing our fundraising efforts and work to allow us to make the improvements we know are necessary and needed.
