Following on from the finances discussion during last week's meeting...

On manual review of our Stripe account, I see 36 monthly recurring dues
subscriptions through sudo-humans for a total of $1,290 per month.

And yet there are also ~100 accounts that are not listed as paying anything. I've sent an email to those members asking them to set up recurring donations. Some of them pay via cash or PayPal, but only a handful.
 
There were a handful of accounts with failing transactions.  (This tends
to happen when a card expires or a number changes.)  However, those
accounts probably add up to <$100 per month altogether.
 
This is good info, thank you for doing these calculations! However, if all of the accounts I just emailed contributed even $10/month ($30 is recommended), then we'd be solid and even putting $200 each month into savings for future space improvements, tools and equipment. If they contributed $30/month,  we'd generate more than $2K monthly and could build a second floor by the end of the year!
 
If we expect, say, $1,200 per month actually paid, and our sole bill is
to Omni, for $2,000, we are running an $800 shortfall. $800 over 30
people is $27 per. $800 over 15 people is $54 per.

We technically have just three bills - Omni ($2000/mo), Digital Ocean ($15/mo) and Gandi.net (?/yr)
 
I've just updated my plan accordingly.

Rad! Thank you! and evidently my card was bouncing, so i've updated my membership payments as well.

As I recall, one of the big open questions from the meeting was whether
Sudo pays any other recurring bills. We know we have insurance, and use
utilities. It wasn't clear whether those are billed through Omni, and
covered by the $2,000 per month, or not.

Since becoming a fiscally-sponsored project of its former self, Sudo's activities are covered by Omni's insurance policies, which include property and directors&officers insurance as well as general liability.

We used to pay $446/mo in utilities to Omni, but plead poverty in tandem with CCL early last year and reduced our monthly payment to $2000. Omni is by no means financially stable as of yet, and I'm still doing the end-of-month scramble dance every month to ensure we can make our mortgage payments. I'm hoping Omni can actually generate the beginnings of a reserve fund by the end of this year. Here's Omni's budget spreadsheet for those who are curious, or if that's overwhelming, a basic overview is here.
