June Financial Report
Here’s the June Financial Report.
Note from the Director of Finance’s Desk:
6 months into the 2025 Financial year, and we’re still doing pretty well! We are negative this month, only because of an item you’ll see noted as Scholarship Fund. This is us moving towards some activities as a Non-Profit, which will eventually be great evidence for our impact on our community when we apply for grants. Not only that, it has always been part of InkBlot’s mission to help our community however we can - and we’ll always be working towards that! The board is currently working on the details for this Scholarship fund, so please keep your eyes out for future updates!
Here’s all of our Financial reports since November 2024.
Inkblot Summer Zine!

Summer Sprint Update
Usually the Summer sprint would be around August, but this year we’re pushing it back to October! We’re hoping to have 2.0 out for a couple of months so everyone can explore and play around with it before the usual sprint. Please keep an eye out for future newsletters for more details about the Sprint (and 2.0).
