2024: money received vs. money spent
Page 6 of the 2024 report prints two numbers per category without saying which is which.E8 The second numbers add to exactly $11,561,531, the expense total on page 5,E7 so they are spending. The first add to within $900 of page 5's donation total, so they are money received. calculated
How to read this chart
- Each category has two bars: light is money received, dark is money spent.
- Dark longer than light means the category spent more than it raised. Something else paid the difference.
- Worked example: Headquarters. Light bar $2,646,835, dark bar $3,355,940. Subtract: $709,105 came from somewhere the report does not name.

With ~$8.9M in cash at the end of 2024, members can fairly ask how much of it is construction money held for branches, how much is unspent relief or zakat, and how much is general reserves. The report does not say.
Gainesville in ADAMS's own slides
Figures from the slides shown at the January 10, 2026 Gainesville town hall,E25 set beside the later town hall slide.E23 Slide 7 says the January figures "are estimates approved by ADAMS BOT and BOC."

Three versions of 2025
- Annual report: $16.2M income, $14.0M expenses, $2.2M net.E12
- August deck, "2025 Budget" chart with no units: bars add to ~14 raised and ~13 spent. calculatedE29
- Then, for 2026: a projected $2.3M shortfall on a $13.4M budget.E29
Where did the 2025 surplus go? Q35
The year-to-date shortfall of $1.15M is exactly half the $2.3M projected shortfall. calculatedE29
How each calculated figure was worked out
The deck gives its amounts rounded (for example 4.97M), so every result below is approximate.
- HQ expenses with no named source: 4.97M − 0.41M = 4.56M
- Branch funds plus HQ expenses: 4.1M + 4.97M = 9.07M
- Budget not shown in those two figures: 13.0M − 9.07M = 3.93M
- Per branch including HQ: 9.07M ÷ 6 = 1.51M
- Whole budget per branch: 13.0M ÷ 6 = 2.2M
- "Leaner" from the deck's totals: 1 − 2.5M ÷ 6.5M = 61.5%
- "Leaner" from $508K against $2M: 1 − 508,000 ÷ 2,000,000 = 74.6%
- Ashburn's share: 31,549 ÷ 1,150,000 = 2.74%
- Gainesville's share: 17,600 ÷ 1,150,000 = 1.53%
- "2025 Budget" chart: 3 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 14 raised; 5 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 13 spent
- Shortfalls: 1.15M × 2 = 2.3M
Quick checkHeadquarters received ~$2.6M and spent ~$3.4M in 2024. What is the one question to ask?Tap to see the answer
Which funds covered the $709,105 difference? If purpose-given donations were used, donors were never told. That is question Q5.
Takeaway
ADAMS's numbers show large sums moving between categories, and a large cash balance, without saying which donations funded what. That is the information an audit and fund-level reporting would provide.
