Our Budget

We believe in stewarding our resources well and maintaining transparency with donors, partners, volunteers and the community. For this reason, we created this snapshot of our yearly budget, salaries, and impact statement so you can feel confident when donating to and serving with DASH Network! 

Recurring donors are also invited to an annual budget meeting where the Executive Director presents a detailed breakdown of our budget. 

We can assure you that your donation is not just another drop in the bucket. See our 990’s below.

2023 Budget Breakdown

DASH Budget

Our operating budget for 2023 is $876,450.  That’s  $48/day  per resident at full capacity

This budget supports  50  residents seeking asylum and is the most holistic program DASH has ever offered*

Our staff & volunteers work tirelessly to secure over  $800k/yr  in donated goods, services and time! 

This budget includes   6  full-time staff members and  9 part-time staff members

We have also been blessed with 3 volunteer staff members working an average of 10/hr week 

You can be assured   every dollar donated to DASH Network is carefully stewarded to provide housing, food, community and support services to those seeking asylum

*This year, you helped provide increased community among residents through an on-site Community Coordinator, increased access to legal assistance through the Legal Coordinator, increased access to Education and ESL resources through the Education & Community Resource Coordinator and  more robust case work support with the addition  of a Case Worker. It truly takes a village!
