For the 2008 Butler County budget, 27 organizations requested contributions from the county.

None of those 27 requests were budgeted.

Butler County Community College made a request, which will not be totally funded. But BC3 will get some money because the county is legally bound to make a minimum contribution to it.

Here are the organizations and their 2008 requests. If the request is higher than the money they received this year, the 2007 number is in parenthesis:
