Financial Reports & Overview

HOW DOES THE MONEY WORK?

Intergroup’s income comes primarily from group donations. We also occasionally generate income from workshops, retreats, special collections or other fundraising events. The money then goes to pay our monthly bills like buying literature from F.W.S, printing, phone line, rent, post office, etc. The Treasurer maintains a minimum Prudent Reserve balance of $15,000 to be used in the case of financial hardship
for Intergroup.
