Through January 30, total pledge dollars for 2019 are virtually identical to last year at this time. We budgeted for a 3% increase. We anticipate an income shortfall in the $50,000 range by fiscal year-end.
We are not yet prepared to discuss how we will deal with that shortfall, although that plan must come soon. We have continued our conservative spending approach, and have (to date) not “brought in” any of the reserves budgeted in this FY. That will most certainly change.
