My community partners both depend on donations and if times get tough they are the first to get cut. My first community partner city of Belmont is Park and recreation if times get tough they will be cut first before education or other things. This community partner might be able to ask for a tax on the members of the City of Belmont, but the issue might be if the city of Belmont wants to be taxed for Parks and recreation when things go down hill. My community partner is associated with taxes because he has to carefully manage the money and depends on volunteers to survive. The city of Belmont charges the resident a residence fee and in that fee it covers Parks and Recreation. My second community partner does not get tax money but they depend on donations to keep the Dorothy Stang center going. I was in the Dorothy Stang play and they asked for donations. The school does fund them, but they need more donations to stay alive. I think they get money from our students activity fee. It would be great if the Dorothy Stang center could get more revenue from other sources.
