October 2025 Financial Report

Our income for October was $20,356.65, and our expenses came in at $22,106.64, leaving us with a $1,749.99 shortfall for the month.

Expenses were higher again, mostly because of some catch-up IRS payments that had been delayed earlier this year while paperwork got sorted out—those alone added about $3,000. Even without that, expenses ran a little higher than usual, partly due to ongoing accounting costs as we finish bringing everything fully up to date. That work has been unfolding over the past few months and should be fully wrapped up by year’s end.

The really good news, though, is that our giving was the most solid it’s been all year. Thank you for that. Your generosity continues to steady and strengthen this community—it’s such a clear sign of the love and commitment people bring to what we’re building together.

As we move toward the end of the year, I’d love to invite everyone to keep that momentum going. If you’re new to Common Thread, this is a wonderful time to start giving. And if you already give, maybe consider setting up a recurring donation or increasing your monthly gift by 10%. Every bit helps us plan wisely and sustain the beautiful, growing life we share.

Thank you, as always, for all the ways you give—through your presence, your care, and your love.
