Hi Cascadians, Alex, and Kacie,

I have made some corrections and clarifications to our draft grant financial report for the grant which covers part of 2015 and all of 2016. The draft may be found at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Cascadia_Wikimedians_User_Group/4....

We originally requested a grant of $6,765.81, and we anticipated a higher level of programmatic activity than we actually executed. By my most recent accounting, we actually spent $4,046.65 of the grant funds, so I recommend that we plan to return the difference ($2,719.16) to WMF.

I believe that we will need to return the unspent funds, and have WMF accept the report, before WMF will issue another grant to CWUG. I believe that in the short term we are still financially OK, but we will are likely to exhaust our funds later this year unless we get new income. Our biggest scheduled expense for later this year is the renewal of our general liability insurance.

I am leaving the report marked as a draft at this time, although I believe that future changes are likely to be minor. I have a meeting scheduled with Kacie tomorrow to discuss this report and get a list of any business that needs to be addressed before WMF accepts the report. I am available for questions, both on list and in private.

Regards,

Pine
