# Sponsorship and Finances Report for October 2016

Here’s that ~weekly~ monthly update on the payments and income for WordPress community
events that we now post monthly. (You’d be amazed at how much more efficient it 
is to do this report on a monthly basis.) This report might get more elaborate as
we get the time to build more tools around financial reporting (currently it’s quite,
very, extremely manual), so if there’s a level of detail we’re not providing that
you’d like to see, please mention it in the comments!

In the month of October, here’s what came in:

Ticket revenue via PayPal: $95,801.71 USD (2,655 total tickets )
 Sponsorship income
via wire transfer: $148,326.19 USD Sponsorship income via check: $12,016.00 USD 
Sponsorship income via PayPal: $54,746.76 USD

**Total revenue (in USD): $310,890.66**

As for invoicing in this period:

We sent 73 invoices to local sponsors.
 Of those, 51 invoices have been paid, and
22 invoices are still outstanding.

And in this same period, here’s what went out:

Total number of vendor payments/reimbursements: 171

**Total payments (in USD): $245,931.30**

Global Sponsorship Grants that were set in this period:

Bilbao 2,800 EUR
 Sao Paulo 9500R$ Miami 20,000 USD Manila 49,000 PHPPHP PHP (recursive
acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose
