(a) A number of donations are made towards the end of the month, generally via PayPal. Because it takes several days for our bank account to process PayPal transfers, it is easier for me to do the bookkeeping if I wait until the 4th or 5th of the following month to process the accounts—this way my figures of money in and money out jibe with the bank figures of what is actually in our account.<br/>
 
(b) On 7/21/2020, the server hardware was upgraded.  Monthly costs were reduced to $74.95 (from the previous $99.95), and the wiki is running faster'''Monthly costs are now ~$78.00 (~$75 after deducting PayPal's fee)'''<br/>
The above chart reflects the financial situation as of the last calendar day of that month.
(c) The bank account currently in use (in Hayford Peirce's name) requires a balance of $1500 in order to avoid monthly feesWe are working to move to an account with lower fees.
<br>&nbsp;<br>
<br/>
(a) As of Mar. 2022, the server underwent hardware and software upgrades.  The new server is $99 per month.  The old server will stay up while transition work continues.  The old server costs $74.95/mo.  In March, we paid all server costs ahead through May 21 (so likely no server charge in April). In March and April, here were also charges for a domain name for the old server and the purchase of some necessary software for technical staff.
(d) The above charts reflect a calendar month and not the fiscal month. The figures shown reflect the financial situation as of the last calendar day of that month.<br/>
<br>&nbsp;<br>
(e) We have negotiated a new monthly fee for the Server, which began in August at $74.95. There was, however, some overlap with the previous fee, as well as expenses generated by moving to a new system within the Server, so that the total expenses for August were somewhat higher. Beginning with September, however, the monthly fee should be stabilized at $74.95.
(b) Prior to 6/4/2021, donations via Paypal were not moved into the Citizendium bank account but languished in Paypal and were not in this report; thus, donations made between Feb. and May 2021 were shown in the Jun 2021 report.   
<br/>&nbsp;<br>
(c) There was an incorrect payment of $103.83 made in June 2021That amount will be reimbursed to The Citizendium in Jan 2022.
