Guild treasury reports

Chipotle · October 30, 2019, 3:20am

And here’s the treasury report for the last quarter (January through March 2019). Yes, just one entry this time.

Argyll didn’t specify the number of copies of TftG2 sold, but 12 is a reasonable guess based on the amount. This means that to date, the book has sold around 44 copies and made $127.71, meaning we need to make another $82.29 to break even. That’s about 28 copies.

The FWG treasury balance stands at $211.32 at the end of May. Our domain registration fee is coming up in April, which I intend to cover (it’ll be shown on next quarter’s cashbook as a payment followed by a matching donation).

Since this hasn’t been updated in a while, and since the tables imported from before are rather borked, I’m reposting this with a Markdown table that’s now fully up to date.

Since the last treasury report, the total number of transactions recorded for the FWG is:

$9.83 received from Argyll, bringing our current balance to $226.15

(It’s been a quiet six months, finance-wise, is what I’m saying.)

I hope this is not uncouth to ask, but where would we go to donate to the FWG? I’m interested in donating but not sure how to go about it.

Sort of a late reply (sorry), but there should still be a donation button somewhere on the web site. You can also just PayPal to furwritersguild@gmail.com and donations should arrive (but please mark it as a FWG donation clearly in the description field).

I found the donate link on the website and sent it in with a note that it was for the FWG. Hope it helps! Thanks for the info.

I haven’t been keeping up with posting these, for which I apologize, although I have actually been tracking all the expenses.

In 2020, we got a substantial amount of donations compared to previous years, most significantly a $350 donation from Argyll Productions (FurPlanet). We also spent a bit more than usual, covering some expenses for the Coyotl Awards and expenses for Oxfurred Comma, our online convention. Expenses in 2021 included another trophy for Oxfurred Comma and a flash fiction award; donations this year have been pretty modest, but we still have—by our historic standards—a good cash reserve. As of April 18, 2021 (the most recent balance change for a domain renewal), we have $558.45.
