TEXT PENDING EDIT
+In 2018, KDE e.V. received several large one-time donations raising our annual income to a record 591,000 EUR. In addition the growth of our income through regular sponsorship and donations exceeded our expectations.
+ +Also in 2018, we increased our spending on development sprints by 12,000 EUR and provided financial support for more people to attend our Akademy conference than in any previous year.
+ +These are strongly linked developments: As our community and ecosystem experience growth, so does the overall profile of our financial activities. The expanded activities then enable our community to attract additional sponsors and benefactors.
+ +In 2019, we continue to drive forward this virtuous cycle. We will put a larger percentage of the organization's accumulated savings, which grew in 2018 by 381,000 EUR, into the community's activities, e.g. its elected long-term goals, than in 2018.
