Each project within The Society must generate sufficient revenue to cover all of its expenses and must not spend or commit more funds than it has on hand.

• Projects are required to cover all employment costs for project staff, including MERCs, benefits, and any employment-related costs associated with layoffs (e.g., termination or severance).
• Projects must fully cover the amounts of all vendor contracts.
• Each project is responsible for its share of insurance costs. MakeWay maintains a comprehensive insurance policy covering all activities across the organization; a proportional amount is calculated and the expense is allocated to projects each month.
• Legal costs that may arise in connection with carrying out project work. However, the decision to obtain legal advice rests with MakeWay. 
• Projects must contribute the minimum annual overhead of $12,000.
