Hello, again!
2023 was a good year for the Aftermath Foundation. I will summarize a few of our key accomplishments during the year, but just to jump right to the most exciting news: during 2023, we ran a pilot support group. Thanks to a few talented volunteers, we were able to run a successful group including women who had survived relationships with people with psychopathic traits. The group met approximately every two weeks during 2023. The feedback we received suggested it was quite useful for those who attended. As a result, we made plans to do the same thing in 2024, and I look forward to being able to announce what happened in our next annual report.
In 2023 five new people joined Aftermath as volunteers, freely giving their time and talents to help the Foundation fulfill its Mission this year. Our Mission statement, which was used to guide our efforts and measure our success again this year, essentially remains the same since its inception.
Aftermath Mission
The Aftermath: Surviving Psychopathy Foundation is dedicated to educating the public regarding the nature of psychopathy and its cost to individuals and society. We seek to support the families and victims of those with psychopathy. We support research that aims to: prevent or minimize the development of psychopathic traits, reduce the impact of psychopathic traits, and understand and treat the aftermath of psychopathy. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the negative impact of psychopathy on the families and victims of psychopathic individuals.
In 2023, we received $2,385.91 in revenue (see Figure 1). Our primary source of revenue was from memberships ($1,775) and donation ($521).
In 2022, our total fixed expenses were $2,084 (see breakdown in Figure 2). The three largest expenditures were: insurance for our Board of Directors (BOD; $684), fees for web applications we use (e.g., Mailchimp, HostGator, Sound Cloud; $838), and fees relating to our annual reports; $300). Variable expenses in 2022 came to $55.
