2010 Revenue & Expenses

Ceres maintained a strong financial position in 2010. The combined support of our generous funders and donors, and fees paid by Ceres companies, the investor network, and coalition members, enabled us to continue to expand our reach into both new and existing program areas.

Overall expenses showed a modest 4% increase over 2009, to a total of $7.2 million. Of this amount, 82% was used for direct program delivery. Net assets showed little change during the year, reflecting a continued healthy pool of temporarily restricted funds. Unrestricted reserves grew $529,000 to $1.95 million. The unrestricted funds provide Ceres with an essential buffer against fluctuations in revenues in subsequent years.
