Anthem Way Foundation reports modest $2,000 surplus as donations lag
Summary
The Anthem Way Foundation ended 2025 with a $2,000 net surplus, below budgeted expectations. Staff attributed the shortfall primarily to donations coming in lower than projected and described existing outreach channels including monthly social-media boosts and festival booths.
Chair Dino Cotton opened the Anthem Way Foundation board meeting at 7:41 p.m. on Feb. 25, 2026. Director of Finance Dee Norton told the board the foundation finished 2025 with positive net income of $2,000, but that total fell short of the adopted budget because donations were lower than expected.
Norton said the shortfall was driven by reduced donor revenue and presented the year-to-date 2025 financials included in the packet. Communications Director Steven Dinkoski described current outreach efforts, saying the foundation relies on monthly social-media boosts — typically $50 to $100 per boost — and operating a booth at community events such as Anthem Days and Autumnfest. Executive Director Aaron Baker added that staff are monitoring fundraising channels and seeking ways to increase contributions.
The board did not take a separate vote on additional fundraising measures at the meeting. The consent agenda, which included adoption of the meeting agenda and approval of past minutes, passed unanimously earlier in the session.
