Financial Transparency — November 2024

The image above shows Trans Lifeline’s financial summary from January to August 2024 through two charts.

Chart 1: Bar Chart showing Income vs. Expenses

• Type: A simple bar chart comparing total income and total expenses for the period January to August 2024.
• Data: It shows a significant income exceeding expenses during the period. The exact numerical values are represented by the vertical axis and read in millions (e.g., 3,000,000). The income and expense values are both in the millions, but the income is higher than the expenses.
• Labels: Clear labels distinguish “Jan – Aug Income” and “Jan – Aug Expenses,” along with the title “2024 YTD Income vs. Expenses.”

Chart 2: Pie Chart showing Expense Breakdown

• Type: A pie chart dissecting the expenses into different categories.
• Data: It depicts how the total expenses are distributed across various expense types.
  • Hotline: 53.2% (the largest slice)
  • C&A: 16% (Control and Administrative)
  • Fundraising: 12.8%
  • Advocacy: 10.6%
  • O&S: 7.4% (Operations and Support)
• Labels: Each slice is clearly labeled with the expense category and its corresponding percentage contribution to the total expenses. The title is “Expenses Breakdown.”

The combined charts provide a concise financial overview. The bar chart highlights a positive financial position with income exceeding expenses. The second pie chart gives further insight into how Trans Lifeline allocates its resources to various program areas. The hotline accounts for a substantial portion (over half) of the total expenses.
