The Cannabis Defense Coalition believes in thorough and open financial accounting. It is our intent to not only run a tight financial ship, but to publicly disperse (non-personal) information and analysis about our finances. This page is the main gateway to information about our dollars and sense.
The CDC is effectively "fund based." We have a single "general fund," in which we place membership dues and general donations. Most projects we run get their own (on-paper) "account," and we attempt to fundraise for that project separate from other projects. The board may vote to transfer general fund monies to a specific project. If a CDC project can be funded, it will most likely happen. If it can not be funded, it will not happen.
