Proposed Budget

The Budget Committee presents for your consideration the LWVIL and LWVILEF budgets for the 2025-2027 Biennium, see below.

The Budget Committee has one motion to be voted upon during convention: the budget for the League of Women Voters of Illinois (LWVIL). The LWVIL budget is voted upon for adoption by the delegates of the convention. The LWVILEF budget is voted upon for adoption by the LWVILEF Board of Directors at the first meeting of the LWVILEF board, which immediately follows the convention.

This budget proposal is based upon the following assumptions:

  • The number of dues-paying members will trend up slightly each year

  • Renewing and new members will pay an average of the recommended dues of $75 per person, with LWVIL receiving 47% ($35.25) via ChapterSpot

  • LWVIL will collect one final PMP payment from local Leagues (invoices sent out in August 2025) totalling an estimated $105,000

  • LWVIL will hire an additional part-time staff member (contractor) in FY26

  • LWVIL will hire an additional staff member in FY27

  • LWVILEF’s endowment fund will distribute $30,000 per year towards operations

  • LWVIL’s office space lease will expire in February 2027; it was assumed that for the remainder of FY2027 rent will remain flat, however due to market conditions we hope to achieve more favorable rental economics. The Finance Committee will begin exploring space options later this year.

Submitted by the 2023-2025 Budget Committee: Deb Busey (LWV Champaign County), Sue Coleman (LWV Roselle-Bloomingdale Area), Christine Hiltrop (LWV Greater Rockford), and Bill Vernon (LWV Naperville).

All Convention materials are available as a printable packet for those who prefer to reference a hard copy.
