Howie’s Financial Report to the Finance Committee
Attached please find our 9 month year over year comparison. We are having a record year.
Donations are up $320k largely due to two new large donors ($105k and $25K) and the Facebook fundraisers supporters initiate and the donate button on our Facebook live broadcasts.
The number of visitors is only up 2% but revenue is up $93k partly due to a price increase implemented late last year and due to a push to do more of our higher priced keeper tours and private tours.
Rental income is up $80k.
Total expenses are up only 2% with some up, some down.
The result is YTD net of $870k, with only $21k in bequests, vs $383k this time last year, up $487k.
With less than $200k in capital expenditures this year so far, most of this has gone to increase our cash position to $3.5 million.
I look forward to seeing you Thursday morning and review this in more detail.

Advisory Board Chairman
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views. These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story. The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story. My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
