I should have finished my other outstanding paperwork before mailing this off, because included in that set of tasks were 2 additional one-time endowment donations. So, let me restate everything I reported previously, with updated numbers. (I won't make any further updates if new donations arrive today; these latest additions are from late January, but gave the outside appearance of having been regular dues transactions, and there's been no other endowment activity since the beginning of February.) --- How many people have made endowment donations: 24 (including original donor) How many people have made pledges: 3 distinct pledges (some are from married couples, so I'm avoiding the "people" terminology) for $12,000 total, to be fulfilled on the following schedule: * January 2026: $2,750 of $2,750 fulfilled * January 2027: $0 of $2,750 fulfilled ($5,500 cumulative total) * January 2028: $0 of $2,750 fulfilled ($8,250 cumulative total) * January 2029: $0 of$2,750 fulfilled ($11,000 cumulative total) * January 2030: $0 of $1,000 fulfilled ($12,000 cumulative total) Total outright cash raised: $109,635 * $100,000 original donation * $2,750 fulfilled pledges * $6,885 one-time donations Total including pledges: $118,885 Total endowment value to date: $114,283 ($4,648 in money market fund dividends) On 3/2/26 11:23, Matthew E.

Let me know if you want me to write up something more formal for future standard reporting. I'll save the other topics that I'm responsible for for the actual discussion.
