I'm so confused.

I can't tell if I'm getting a raise this year or not. My dept head just sent out an email saying: "I want to let everyone know that the  Senior Administration and the  Board of Directors have set an across-the-board 2% salary increase to all eligible personnel (when funds were available).  Each of you will be receiving an individual letter over the next few days."

I can't tell if that means my lab specifically is getting a raise or not. Normally we get a 3% raise. I really hope that the 2% normally comes from the foundation and that the extra 1% comes from my boss. We've heard rumors going around for a while now that we're not getting a raise because my boss doesn't have the money for it. That "when funds were available" thing is confusing me.
