What does funding status mean?

Critical status is only assigned at a time of emergency either when we cannot cover urgent bills or can predict funding shortage shortly and must raise a certain amount for the resource to be safe. We try to avoid changing the status to critical because we know how unnerving it is to see; we feel the same way about it. It is only done when we have no other option. Critical status is assigned when our emergency fund has been depleted or about to be depleted. 

Very Low status is assigned when our current funding is running low and we can see that we may have to dip into the emergency fund. It is not good news.

Low Status indicates that we are currently covering our maintenance fees and bills. We are making it, but only just.

OK status is like a unicorn, it comes so rarely it’s almost a myth. If you ever see that status, it means that SHIFA AL-SUDOR has been funded properly without any shortages this month. It is likely we even managed to set aside some money for future developments. Tears of joy are in the eyes of the team members, people are cheering in the streets, all is well in the world and humanity prospers! 

Every month, several times a month, we make predictions and monitor our financial situation to stay proactive and keep SHIFA AL-SUDOR financially healthy and stable, keep it up and make sure its needs are met. The funding status at the bottom of the website is the way for us to communicate these needs.
