December Financial Report - Final FR of 2024
Here’s the December Financial Report.
Note from the Director of Finance’s Desk:
Back with those exciting numbers!! You can already see a lot of our subscriptions have been cut in half - or even completely eliminated. This has already been a huge help starting off 2025 on the right foot. We also had a generous donation to end 2024 on (as you can see in the One-off column).
The board will be meeting soon to discuss this donation and how we can put it to use in the best way for our 2025 plans for InkBlot. We’ll speak more about this when we can, for now - thank you all for your support in 2024 (and even further in the past) and here’s to an even better 2025!
MAP is BACK! Join Today!

Instead of fully canceling, we shelved the project - allowing folks who were accepted to hold onto their part and wait until we were finally able to repost applications and re-open. TODAY IS THE DAY!
