⚠ Watch — gap reflects credit card paydown

“May was a turnaround month — $31,300 in donations and a $15,000 loan draw lifted cash from $501 to $18,102 and returned net assets to positive territory.”

Three Things That Matter Most

First Surplus in Four Months — May Delivered

$31,300 in donations drove $39,086 in total support and revenue — the strongest month of the year. The $8,114 surplus pushed net assets from −$2,484 back to +$5,630.

▶ Confirm which May donations are recurring vs one-time to forecast summer months.

Leroy Smucker Loan Now at $70,000

The loan grew from $50,000 in February to $70,000 in May — $20,000 drawn in four months. It funded operations during lean months, but growing debt needs a repayment plan.

▶ Document loan terms (interest, repayment timeline) and set a ceiling on further draws.

Donations Swing 4x — Stability Is the Goal

Monthly donations ranged from $8,231 to $31,300. Tuition ($6,600/mo) is steady but covers only 24% of costs. When donations dip below $15,000, the org runs a deficit.

▶ Build recurring donor commitments targeting $15,000/month minimum.

Cash Flow Waterfall — May 2026
Contributions: +$39,086
Strongest month of the year — $31,300 in donations plus $6,600 tuition and $1,186 in services.
Operating costs: −$31,043
Payroll, rent, and program costs running at the normal monthly rate. No surprises.
CC paid down: −$3,702
Capital One balance dropped from $8,670 to $4,968 — deliberate deleveraging.
Loan draw: +$15,000
New draw from Leroy Smucker loan brought the total to $70,000 and boosted the cash position.
Net result: $501 → $18,102
A complete cash recovery from April’s near-zero position.

Before Next Month

The Event
June operating costs (rent $5,000 + payroll ~$10,000 + other ~$14,000) will require approximately $29,000 — more than the $18,102 currently in the bank.
Estimated Impact
Without June contributions arriving in the first two weeks, the checking account could go negative by mid-month — repeating the March pattern.
One Action Item
By June 10, confirm the June donation pipeline with Ernest. If committed gifts total less than $12,000 for the first half of June, discuss a smaller Leroy Smucker draw as a bridge.
