Thanks for sharing this. I would be interested to see a more detailed pie chart on the 2023 expenditures. Approximately half the expenses (1.5 million dollars) spent on "Membership & Admin". What does that mean exactly?

I'll ask in Zulip if a more detailed breakdown is available. Inferring by exclusion from the other categories, it's likely the cost of the staff, such as payroll, travel and related expenses.

Hi Andrew, as per https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/335408-founda...

    To answer your question, the "Membership & Admin" slide covers:

    - General admin (software, bank fees, meeting rooms etcetera)
    - Legal and professional fees
    - Marketing services & tooling
    - Events (travel and sponsorship, primarily the latter)
    - Salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, & payroll service provider fees.
    - Membership and donor acquisition

Thanks for digging in. I would certainly be interested to see the extra granularity next year as offered by Gracie Gregory in that thread.
