THE OVERALL AMOUNT FUNDED EACH YEAR IS REQUESTED OF THE BOARD AT THE ANNUAL BUDGET MEETING. IT CAN BE ADJUSTED UP BASED ON NEED OR DOWN BASED ON LOWER INCOME THAN PROJECTED. THE GRAND TETON ASSOCIATION DOES NOT GIVE OUT GRANTS, BUT THEY DO FUND "AID". SOME "AID" IS NOT MONETARY BUT IN-KIND, AS IS THE CASE OF A PORTION OF GRAND TETON ASSOCIATION'S EMPLOYEE SALARIES WHO ALSO GIVE VISITOR INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC. ALL AID MUST FIT WITHIN THE ASSOCIATION'S NON-PROFIT STATUS AND BE USED FOR INTERPRETATION, EDUCATION, OR RESEARCH. THE AGENCY REPRESENTATIVE MUST LIST WHAT THE FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR AND SIGN THE REQUEST. IT IS THEN FORWARDED TO THE GRAND TETON ASSOCIATION WHERE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEWS THE REQUEST TO BE SURE THAT IT IS AN APPROPRIATE USE OF FUNDS. IF SO, THE DONATION REQUEST IS SIGNED AND FORWARDED TO THE BOOKKEEPER FOR PAYMENT.

THE OVERALL SALARIES/HOURLY WAGES FOR OTHER EMPLOYEES ARE DETERMINED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. SALARIES ARE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHEN THE ANNUAL BUDGET IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD DURING THE BUDGET MEETING. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GATHERS COMPARISONS FROM THE NPS SALARIES, OTHER NON-PROFITS, THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, SALARY SURVEYS, AND LIKE ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS OTHER COOPERATING ASSOCIATIONS. THOSE STUDIES INCLUDE BONUSES AS WELL AS COST OF LIVING INCREASES AND BENEFITS. THESE STUDIES ARE DONE PERIODICALLY, USUALLY EVERY 2-3 YEARS TO BE SURE THAT THE ASSOCIATION IS STILL WITHIN THE SAME FRAMEWORK AS OTHER LIKE ORGANIZATIONS. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS GIVES A GUIDELINE FOR AN OVERALL BONUS POOL, WHICH IS THEN DISTRIBUTED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BASED ON EVALUATIONS AND JOB PERFORMANCE.
