NOTES ON FISCAL YEAR 2022 – 2023
Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance (SCVBA), formerly known as Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society (SCVAS) ended the 2022 – 2023 fiscal year (June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023) with a realized profit of $61,816 before taking into consideration unrealized gains on the organization’s investment portfolio. Financial markets continue to recover from the 2022 “bear market” and we too saw the value of our investment portfolio increase over the course of our fiscal year. We continually monitor our portfolio and make adjustments as necessary to the asset allocation. We believe our portfolio is well-balanced overall and conservative. Including the unrealized gains of $10,682, we ended the year with an increase in net assets of $72,498. When compared to the prior fiscal year, revenue from Donations was up by 20% and revenue from Grants & Contracts was up by 4%. Total Operating Expenses increased by 6% when compared to the prior fiscal year. Our ratio of program expenditures to total spending was 87% for the year, unchanged from the prior year. The organization continues to be very focused on devoting its resources to programs. Fundraising expense was 4% for the year, unchanged from the prior year. Our Balance Sheet continues to be strong with $1.7 million in Total Equity at May 31, 2023, an increase of 5% from the balance in Total Equity at May 31, 2022 due to both the positive profit and the unrealized gains in the investment portfolio.
