Treasurer’s Report for the Year 2008

Bill Paul, Treasurer

The finances of IWMF are operated through two separate funds: the Research Fund and the Member Services Fund.  The assets for these funds are kept separately as are the accounting records.  The detailed financial statements are set out below.  For the sake of simplicity they are summarized as follows, with a comparison to last year, with amounts rounded to the nearest thousand.

 

Research Fund                                                                           2008                     2007

Contributions received                                                     $518,049              $901,000

Interest earned                                                                     46,123                  51,000

                                                                                         564,172                 925,000

Research grants awarded                                                     60,000                  38,000

 

Increase in year                                                               $504,172              $914,000

Contributions received during 2008 decreased significantly over 2007 due to a decline in general research contributions and memorial/honorarium contributions.  Only one research grant was awarded in 2008 just as in 2007.  The details of these research projects were reported to members during 2007 and 2008. The total awarded by IWMF to fund WM research since inception is over $3 million.

These are exciting times in WM research. The search for a cure is progressing quickly and IWMF is fully involved in it. If you have not already done so, please consider making a five year pledge for research funding. Remember that no operating costs are charged to the Research Fund so every dollar pledged to research goes to research.

 

Member Services Fund                                                             2008                      2007

Contributions received                                                     $390,000               $390,000

Member services and operating costs                                 411,000                 449,000

 

Increase or (decrease) in year                                          $(21,000)              $(59,000)

Income in 2008 of $390,000 remained stable compared to 2007.  Expenses in 2008 declined slightly, primarily because it was not necessary to print so many booklets in 2008. 

The assets in the fund at the end of 2008 amounted to $283,000 compared to $304,000 at the end of 2007.
