Financial Summary 2008
24 June 2009
The first year of the YMAA Retreat Center's 10-year training program is drawing to a close, and we would like to present a summary of the Retreat Center's financial situation, progress and struggles. Over the past 4-5 years, Dr. Yang has invested much of his time and personal savings into making the nonprofit YMAA Retreat Center a reality. From Dr. Yang's generous contributions, as well as those of our donors and student sponsors, we have managed to stay on schedule thus far. As Dr. Yang is currently supporting more than half of the center's expenses with his remaining life savings, we continually appreciate and value greatly the kindness and support that all of our donors and supporters show to help fully bring this project to fruition.
Revenue and expenses for the year of 2008 at the YMAA Retreat Center are:
| Revenue | $111,012.64 | |
| Expenses | $115,242.61 |
