Attached is a list of financials for Squidge.org, INC for 2024.  While we raised enough money to cover our expenses, because of legal requirements and filings, we actually didn't quite cover all of our bills - so it's a good thing we had a cushion in the bank to cover these expenses.



As a breakdown:

  • $2,897.17 raised from fundraising

  • $227.89 spent on fundraising gifts (t-shirts, stickers, etc.)

  • $549 spent on LegalZoom, an entity that does our legal filings and such

  • $2,484.75 spent on webhosting and ISP charges, as well as other applications needed to run the day-to-day operations. This number includes our online service for FenRecs.com which debuted in 2024.


The good news is, we are no longer paying $10/month for Akismet spam software service, as we qualify for non-profit status and get said service for free as long as we make under 60,000 API calls in a month.  Just in the last couple of months, SquidgeWorld Archive (the site that uses Akismet API calls) just breached 10,000 API calls per month, so we should be good for many years.

If you have questions, please let us know.  Thank you!

Attached is the financials for Squidge.org INC for our first year of existence.  Of course we didn't start taking official donations until mid-2023, and as such our bills were paid out of pocket until Squidge could support itself so the bills aren't expressed in full-year context.  We'll see that next year, as long as we can continue to raise enough in donations to keep going.

A breakdown of Squidge.org's financials for 2023.

As a breakdown:

  • Legal fees were $250 for the State of Oregon Department of Justice

  • Internet & TV services are our monthly $165/month Internet service (paid from July 2023)

  • Office Supplies are the checks we had to purchase for our bank account

  • Software & Apps are various fees like SMTP backup service, Spam filtering services, and other software we pay for on a routine basis.


If anyone has questions, please let us know.
