End of FY22-23 Financial Report

Overall, we are slightly ahead of revenue expectations and below expected expenses.

Fiscal Year Summary

• The fiscal year is July 1- June 30. This report reflects the end of the fiscal year.
• Variances include:
  • In DSpace’s favor: membership dues (includes onetime donations), fundraising, SCOSS payments, contract labor, travel, IDC
  • Negative to DSpace: service provider fees (pilot year of revised program) and consultants (in part due to shifting SCOSS expenses to this line)

SCOSS – 3 Year Pledge Campaign

• Approximately $ 209,000 US pledged so far over 3 years
• SCOSS funds can only be used to support SCOSS staffing goals (Program Coordinator). That revenue isn’t available for other program activities. Thus, the pledges make it appear we have more funds available for all activities than we do.
• SCOSS assets
• Funds received $ 156,739 US so far minus expenses $ 60,029 US: $ 96,709.75 US

Assets

• Overall Net Assets: Retained & current net assets (including SCOSS): $ 163,555 US
• SCOSS assets (Funds received so far minus expenses): $ 96,709.75 US
• Available Assets: $ 66,845.00 US

Membership Renewals

• Governance nominations and elections
