Overview

GivingArc notes

  • The year closed at +$23,500, $15,500 better than the budget's +$8,000. December brought in $110,232, the strongest month of the year.
  • Gifts from individuals still finished $17,400 under budget. Suggestion for the 2026 budget: start from this year's $142,600, not $160,000.
  • Vehicles and equipment ran 20% over budget ($24,000 against $20,000). If the cargo van on the needs list is bought in 2026, give it its own budget line.
  • $55,000 of the Post-Fire Soil Grant is unspent and restricted. Bring the plan for that money to the next board meeting.
  • Question for the board: cash now covers about 3.3 months of spending. Is there a target the board wants to hold?
