The financial report for the close of 2025 is now available.
As of year-end, our current balance stands at €1,224.55. Based on our ongoing expenses, this provides sufficient runway to sustain operations for the foreseeable future without requiring additional donations.
We would like to extend a sincere thank-you to our anonymous donors for their continued support and for quite literally keeping the lights on.
Looking ahead to 2026, we do not currently anticipate any major expenses. That said, flexibility remains important, as opportunities may arise to further improve our systems, integrations, and overall service availability.
As part of my commitment to improving transparency and governance, I intend once a new Tech Manager has been appointed and subject to board approval, to explore alternative donation and payment solutions.
At present, PayPal is tied to me as an individual, and as the report shows, the associated transfer fees are relatively high. From a structural and accountability standpoint, this is not ideal.
I will therefore look into options that allow VATSCA itself to be the direct holder of funds, with lower fees and clearer ownership. I will keep the board informed as we evaluate possible solutions and recommendations.
