And now as promised, the breakdown:
https://www.wnff.net/gdayimgs/2019-wnff-donations.gif (just click the link to view - I didn't bother posting it as an image because it doesn't scale well)
Short version - total donations last year were either
910.00 or
875.46 depending on whether you count by what's sent or by what I receive after PayPal's fees. For the record I have always counted by what is sent (also the $20 discrepancy in the figures above are because of one mail-in donation).
Total operating costs in 2019 were
835.32, breakdown here:
75.90 Jan
75.90 Feb
75.90 Mar
87.29 Apr (yet another price increase for legacy plan which is what prompted me to move us to a newer plan)
87.29 May
87.29 Jun
87.29 Jul
87.29 Aug
31.00 Aug (new plan)
30.00 Sep
30.00 Oct
30.00 Nov
30.00 Dec
20.17 (legacy "nationalsforum.net" domain renewal)**
Expected costs for 2020 are
380.17:
30/mo for plan
20.17 for the year for "nationalsforum.net" domain
Subtract the surplus
54.68 from 2019 and that leaves us with a bottom line of:
$325.49 needed for 2020.
So far there have been
375.00 in donations sent
