Fundraiser Cash Waterfall Chart

This waterfall chart starts with cash on hand and follows the inflows and outflows from a fundraising gala. Ticket sales and donations add to the balance, while venue and catering costs reduce it. The closing cash total makes the net effect of the event immediately visible. Use this chart for a concise financial story after an event; use a detailed ledger for payment dates and transaction-level records.
