+## DDEV Foundation Financial Overview
+
+The full 2023 financial report will be in the March 6 [DDEV Advisory Group Meeting Notes](https://github.com/orgs/ddev/discussions/5757), but highlights are:
+
+* **Total income of the DDEV Foundation: USD$47,729**
+* **Total expenses: USD$45,171.** $35,236 of that was for paid maintainers, $2566 for equipment purchase, $3115 for 2022 corporate taxes, $2038 for upstream support.
+* Monthly income ranges from $2000 to $6800. The higher months are often from companies catching up or making annual support payments.
+* Randy receives no income from the DDEV Foundation; his salary is paid by Platform.sh (thanks!).

 ## Issue and Concerns
 
 * **Loss of maintainers**: It's completely normal for maintainers to come and go, and they should be able to do so. For example, Matt Stein found that he needed additional income and had accomplished his key goals with DDEV documentation and stepped back a bit. However, we completely lost prolific long-term maintainer Simon Gilli, and we don't even know how or why. The internet can be a strange place.
