FY23 Year End Financials

Dear Crooms AoIT Alumni Association members and supporters,

We are pleased to present our FY23 consolidated income and balance sheet to provide full transparency into how your financial support is used. The Association's fiscal year runs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The Association uses cash accounting but a line has been entered to recognize scholarship commitments made in FY23 that were not paid out during the fiscal year.

A summary of major activities includes:

• Matching donations helped raise $475 this year for the General Fund - a meaningful amount by historical standards.
• Crooms AoIT Girls Basketball Team was provided the $300 Coach Geoffry Alan Haines Athletics Grant.
• The first set of bricks was installed for the Crooms AoIT Alumni Panther Walk at Crooms AoIT.
• Nine (9) additional bricks were sold this year for the Crooms AoIT Panther Walk, ensuring continuous funding for the Coach Geoffry Alan Haines Athletics Grant and the Crooms AoIT Athletics Program.
• A $1,000 Crooms AoIT Alumni Association Community Scholarship was awarded to a Class of 2023 graduate - our 17th year of doing so and 20th community scholarship recipient.

A summary of our financials is detailed below:

• The Association started the year with a fund balance (excluding existing commitments) of $5,115.83 in the General Fund and $6,735.18 in the "Brick" Fund (the "Brick" Fund was established in FY22 following the launch of the Crooms AoIT Alumni Panther Walk and is intended to provide support to Crooms AoIT Athletics).
• After removing internal transfers, revenues of $2,517.13 were collected through memberships, donations, brick purchases, and other means - representing a 80.6% decrease from FY22. The Association anticipated this significant reduction in revenue in FY23 as brick purchases fell off.
• After removing internal transfers, expenses of $6,365.37 were recognized - representing an increase of 38% largely due the start of expenses for the Crooms AoIT Alumni Panther Walk. Overhead (from PayPal transaction fees) accounted for approximately 0.7% of all expenses for the year.
• An additional $1,000 remains to be disbursed for scholarships awarded during FY23.

Fund balance (after commitments) ended at $7,002.77, representing an 18.8% increase from the end of the previous year (after accounting for scholarship commitments). $3,121.51 of this fund base is unrestricted in the General Fund while $3,881.26 is restricted in the "Brick Fund".
