I compared the June Profit & Loss Accounting Details (pages 7-9
in the
Financial Reports) with the numbers used last December to develop
the
budget, to see which revenues and expenses had the largest
deviations,
besides the Convention. The expenses are mostly under budget. The
revenues that stand out the most are Recurring Contributions
(monthly
pledges), Direct Solicitations, Ballot Access/Voter Registration
Fundraising, and to a lesser extent Branding.
Branding was budgeted to be balanced, with revenues and expenses
both
being $125,000. The actual numbers are showing a loss of $13,000.
We budgeted $60,000 direct solicitations this year from the LNC
members, Chair, and ED. So far, $2962 has been raised.
We have raised $40,319 from fundraising targeted for ballot
access. The
budget was for $76,600 by the end of June ($153,200 for the
year).
Recurring contributions had a 14.8% growth from 2016 to 2017. Our
budget expected this growth to continue. Instead, they are down
24.1%
compared to last year. This year has $175,849. The budget was for
$231,700 by the end of June ($463,400 for the year), so we are
short
$55,850. I graphed the amounts taken in each month from the
monthly
pledges for the past 6 1/2 years to look at the trend. The graph
is
attached. June 2016 had a 14.4% increase, and July 2016 had a
4.3%
increase. The June & July 2016 increase made the annual numbers
increase from 2015 to 2016 and from 2016 to 2017. However, after
peaking in August 2016, the monthly pledges generally dropped
until
January 2018, with a 7% decrease in June 2017. The recurring
contributions have increased this year, but not yet to the levels
during July 2016 to May 2017. I have my hypotheses of what
contributed
to these two swings in monthly pledges (June 2016 and June 2017),
but
have no data to support them.

The June End-of-Month Financial Reports are attached.
The first graph on page 3 shows the revenue and expenses. The
huge
jump in
both is due to the convention being booked in June. The third
graph
shows
the reserve, which has dropped to -$14,500.
Page 5 shows the revenues and expenses for the month and
year-to-date for
each budget line item. The Budget Year to Date column assumes
equal
amounts
each month, except for the Convention lines, which have their
budget
being
in June.
The Convention Expenses went over budget, as did the Convention
Revenue, due
to its record attendance. I will follow up with a request for a
motion to
increase Convention Revenues and Convention Expenses by
$130,000.
The
Convention fundraising does not include $39,400 in
"Memberships" or
"CRM"
donations received at the convention during July and will be
booked
in July.
Pages 7-9 give the Profits and Losses on more detailed
categories.
Assets and liabilities are summarized on page 4, third table,
with
details
on pages 10 and 11.
