Background: -----------
During FY2017 our total assets rose from $41,746 to $74,826, thanks to generous donors and sponsors small and large who provided Inkscape with $37,728.90 in income. Our expenses in FY2017 were lower than in past years, amounting to $4,648.80.
Our last hackfest came in well under budget. We are looking at doing two hackfests this year and expect about half a dozen sponsorships; we are offering sponsorships totalling $10,000 but expect the actual expenses to be smaller.
The new Vectors team is very active and will be attending SCALE and other events. They are planning use of their budget for printing of handouts and signage for technical events. This budget increases their funding pool another $100. The board will continue to review and approve expenditures as normal.
FY2017 saw our first funded development work. We hope to expand this program in 2018 with more projects funded.
We added a new fund last year to help cover travel costs to non-hackfest conferences and other technical events. While this was not utilized last year, we'll continue adding funds to it in hope it will be of value going forward.
