The above chart represents all income reported by the Rocky Mountain Conference for 2016.
The total income in all areas is slightly more than $16,000,000 ($16M).
Only about a third of that $16M is derived from Connectional Giving, or the apportionment receipts.
The other two thirds comes in, generally from local churches, to pay for pensions, health benefits, and property/liability insurance. Some of the money shown under Desig and Restr (that is the designated & restricted) is money from the sale of local churches.
I don't think I need to over explain what health plans, property and liability insurance, and pension plans are. Those are expenses that are billed directly to the local church.
A table of the above chart looks like:
I have a fairly simple "big idea" with this chart and corresponding table. The "budget" of the Rocky Mountain Conference is one thing, but all money passing through the conference is another $10,000,000+. The income to support our total spending is arguably more like $16,000,000, not $5,500,000.
