You may be wondering why we set the dues at $65 and where all that money is going. The short answer is all that went back to you guys! All the money we spend goes to the organization. Believe it or not we don't treat ourselves to lavish dinners or private flights.
Total money in: $7,282.91
Total money out: $6,128.55
That left us with $1,154.36 at the end of the year! Way better than last year's $9.06. The two biggest changes were increasing donations by getting hooked up with Benevity, which is a corporate donation matching service. Our valiant president Austin hit that hard and was able to get the time he donated matched by his company in cold hard cash. Basically Austin made it rain free money. The other big change was being smarter about the dinner costs. Last year the dinner was way more expensive than we planned, and this year we were able to learn from last year and keep the costs down.
