22. 20 GLAAD’S ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012
20 GLAAD’S ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
DEAR GLAAD SUPPORTERS:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of GLAAD, we are proud to deliver the following audited financial statements for GLAAD for the year ended 12/31/11. As you will see in the
attached financial statements, it was a difficult fundraising year for GLAAD. Like most non-profit institutions, GLAAD suffered from the weak economic conditions in 2011, which
resulted in lower donations from our supporters. In addition, for more than half of 2011, GLAAD was operating without a permanent president, as the search committee did its work in
finding a new permanent leader for GLAAD. The uncertainty around who was going to lead GLAAD through its next phase also impacted our ability to attract major donors.
In response to these factors, GLAAD’s Board and staff took some proactive steps to mitigate the revenue pressure we were witnessing last year. We are proud to say that these actions
have positioned GLAAD to reap benefits today and in the near future. We are also excited about the prospects for growth with our new leader, Herndon Graddick. To be more
specific, we thought it was important to highlight a few of the steps we took in 2011 to better position us for growth in 2012 and beyond. Some of the most important actions we took
included:
1) Proactively writing off over $500,000 of bad debt associated with pledges from previous years which were unrealistic
2) Reducing our fixed and variable cost structure by over $1m annually
3) Realigning our operations to take advantage of outsourced and in-house efficiencies
4) Changing our budgeting process to be more accurate (on a cash basis) and more nimble
In summary, we are pleased with the progress that GLAAD has made over the past 12 months, and we are confident that the organization is very well positioned for growth and
success as we continue changing the hearts and minds on behalf of the LGBT community.
Respectfully submitted,
Sheri Fults John Stephens
Co-Chair Co-Chair & Treasurer
