== Program Basics ==
* Program Name: @
* Program Description:
@
* What best describes this program? @
*# Primarily '''income generating''' (expected to make money for Free Geek)
*# Primarily meets '''program''' needs (expected to cost more money than it makes)
*# '''Administrative''' (expected to support other programs that generate income and/or meet program needs)
* Why does Free Geek need this program?
@

== Job Position Basics ==
* Would there be a dedicated staff position associated with this program? YES / NO @
* Position Title: @
* Job Description:
@
== Financial costs ==
* What are the expected financial staffing costs of the program? (Include all costs to the organization such as salary, payroll taxes, and benefits.)
@
* What other costs are associated with the program? (Include costs of materials needed, etc.)
@
* If there will be a dedicated staff position, how much time would be needed for training?
** How much time would existing staff need to put in? _____________ hours @
** How time would existing volunteers need to put in? _____________ hours @
* Once the program is up and running how many staff how many hours per week would it take?
** In paid staff time? _____________ hours/week @
** In volunteer time? _____________ hours/week @

== Drawbacks ==
* Outline the intangible costs for the position and program:
@
* Are there any possible negative impacts on Free Geek's mission, and if so what?
@
* How will this program affect other programs and staff positions currently in effect?
@
* How will this program affect other programs and staff positions being considered?
@

== Benefits ==
* Would the program generate income? YES / NO @
** If yes, how much income would be expected once the program is up and running? $ @ / month
** If yes, how long would it take for the program to get to that point? @
* How does the program support the mission of Free Geek?
@
== Measuring Success ==
* How can the success of the program be measured?
@
* For most income generating positions, the costs initially outweigh the benefits. If this is an income generating program, how long until it is expected to break even?
@
* Outline a plan for implementing the program:
