'''Financial Report - September 16, 2017 - Including Breakdown of #NB10!'''

Noisebridge has $84,486.38 in the bank.

_Breakdown:_
$45,115.61 in the general fund, which is just over nine months of regular expenses.
$28,172.79 for Noisetor
$6,336.72 in the equipment fund
$2,597.95 in the Thomas J. Shutt Memorial Fund
$1,412.96 in the broadcast fund
$475.35 in the laser maintenance fund
$375 from Friends of the Public Library to reimburse Circuit Hacking Mondays for kits

Notes:

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since September 12th and their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship. It also takes into account new royalty payments to Thomas’ foundation.

We got another big deposit ($1,037.53) into our checking account from Eventbrite. We don’t know why they keep giving us money, but it’s great!

We spent $587.04 from the broadcast fund for A/V, staging, and lighting equipment for the Noisebridge 10th Anniversary Exhibition & Ball (#NB10). Each of the five performers for #NB10 were paid $200 from door and drinks donations, for a total of $1,000. We made several reimbursements from the equipment fund as well related to #NB10. Drinks and other remaining expenses were paid for out of the general fund. The event was extremely net revenue positive for the space.

Miscellaneous #NB10 expenses are described here: https://noisebridge.net/wiki/NB10-Misc-Expenses-Tally

Reimbursed drink expenses were $929.96, mostly reflected in totals from previous financial reports. Total expenses from the event add up to $3,639.24, not counting Club Mate consumed. The bartenders estimated 5 boxes, or 100 bottles, of Club Mate were consumed, previously purchased with general fund money at an estimated total cost of $315. $587.04 of that came from the broadcast fund. $638.01 of that came from the equipment fund. $2,729.19 came from the general fund, inclusive of the estimated cost of Club Mate consumed.

Our total revenue over the long weekend was $4,988.60. Subtracting expenses that were reimbursed from the general fund, the general fund increased by $2,259.41 over the weekend. Subtracting all expenses, our overall total accounts increased by $1,034.36. But spending money from the equipment fund and broadcast fund is a good thing! That money is meant to be spent.

(Note: Because this takes into account the estimated cost of Club Mate consumed, technically our cash accounts increased by $1,359.36, and the cash in our general fund increased by $2,574.41. But I think the cost of Club Mate should be included in the accounting for the event, the same way we deducted the cost of purchasing alcohol. The fact that Club Mate was pre-purchased in bulk is immaterial for our purposes of analyzing the event.)

'''Financial Report - September 12, 2017'''

Noisebridge has $84,486.38 in the bank.

_Breakdown:_
$42,965.56 in the general fund, which is just under 9 months of regular expenses.
$28,172.79 for Noisetor
$6,974.73 in the equipment fund
$2,522.95 in the Thomas J. Shutt Memorial Foundation
$2,000 in the broadcast fund
$1,000 to reimburse performers at #NB10
$475.35 in the laser maintenance fund
$375 from Friends of the Public Library to reimburse Circuit Hacking Mondays for kits

Notes:

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since September 6th, their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship, their subscription payment for their second hosting set-up, and a bunch of little one-off purchases and fees.

'''Financial Report - September 6, 2017'''

Noisebridge has $79,618.40 in the bank.

_Breakdown:_
$38,601.54 in the general fund, which is under 8 months of regular expenses.
$28,668.83 for Noisetor
$6,974.73 in the equipment fund
$2,522.95 in the Thomas J. Shutt Memorial Fund
$2,000 in the broadcast fund
$475.35 in the laser maintenance fund
$375 from Friends of the Public Library to reimburse Circuit Hacking Mondays for kits

Notes:

The general fund is below its typical level because of thousands of dollars of reimbursements for Club Mate, alcohol, and t-shirts for the Noisebridge 10th Anniversary Exhibition & Ball. Expect that to flood back in over the weekend.

This running total takes into account Noisetor’s donations since September 1st, their 5% contribution to the general fund for fiscal sponsorship, and their recent $841.20 purchase of a server. It also includes several reimbursements for items available for donation during NB10:

$404.16 to Ruth for the purchase of Bulleit and beer
$460.80 to Jarrod for the purchase of custom t-shirts

This total does not separate out project-specific donations for the new 3D printer, but those donations are being recorded appropriately by donate.noisebridge.net. When the project hits the magic number, we will direct money from the general fund and a matching grant from the equipment fund to purchase the new 3D printer.

Today we reimbursed Mitch $2,500 for the purchase of a pallet of Club Mate for the space, which will be available to everyone at the regular $4/bottle donation rate. The expected delta between donation revenue and cost of purchase is around $700 for the pallet. We also reimbursed Lady Red $53 from the equipment fund for the purchase of a dress form for the sewing area.

We recently got a $1,956.49 deposit in our checking account from Eventbrite, and your treasurer does not know why. If anyone knows why, let him know for the record.

Equipment fund

2017-09-17T00:28:38Z

162.222.103.186: /* Current Status */ subtract expenses from NB10

This page is for documenting the performance of the Noisebridge Equipment Fund, which was initially seeded by a $15,000 grant from Google. Since Noisebridge is in a relatively stable financial position, consensus was to spend the grant money on new equipment with [[User:Pemulis|John Shutt]] coordinating accounting and reimbursement (which he's doing here and on an [Ethercalc spreadsheet][https://noisebridge.sandcats.io/shared/gVmuQ5tqzNUSk5NazHgbKBrVEXkexR75q2RpyfZvLXz]).

== Current Status ==

There is '''$6,336.72''' left in the equipment fund. This number may not reflect promised reimbursements.

== Acquisition Process ==

List ideas here and discuss with the community to make sure there is interest in a particular piece of equipment and a place to put it. The fund will not cover the full cost of the item — you need to raise half of the cost on your own, and the fund will match the other half. This keeps our fundraising muscles strong and proves that there is legitimate interest in getting the item. Consider setting up a project-specific donation page https://donate.noisebridge.net/projects/.

Reimbursement will happen through PayPal so that recordkeeping and end-of-year accounting will be easier. If anyone wants to help with accounting, contact [[User:Pemulis|John Shutt]].

Equipment fund

2017-09-17T00:28:05Z

162.222.103.186: /* Proposals */ add reimbursements from NB10

This page is for documenting the performance of the Noisebridge Equipment Fund, which was initially seeded by a $15,000 grant from Google. Since Noisebridge is in a relatively stable financial position, consensus was to spend the grant money on new equipment with [[User:Pemulis|John Shutt]] coordinating accounting and reimbursement (which he's doing here and on an [Ethercalc spreadsheet][https://noisebridge.sandcats.io/shared/gVmuQ5tqzNUSk5NazHgbKBrVEXkexR75q2RpyfZvLXz]).

== Current Status ==

There is '''$6,974.73''' left in the equipment fund. This number may not reflect promised reimbursements.

== Acquisition Process ==

List ideas here and discuss with the community to make sure there is interest in a particular piece of equipment and a place to put it. The fund will not cover the full cost of the item — you need to raise half of the cost on your own, and the fund will match the other half. This keeps our fundraising muscles strong and proves that there is legitimate interest in getting the item. Consider setting up a project-specific donation page https://donate.noisebridge.net/projects/.

Reimbursement will happen through PayPal so that recordkeeping and end-of-year accounting will be easier. If anyone wants to help with accounting, contact [[User:Pemulis|John Shutt]].
