Revamping Expenditure Updates in 2022

Beginning in the new year, we’re going to revamp our expenditure reporting to provide a more granular view of the DEF’s spending now that the organization’s accounting is in order. We’ll publish “backward looking” updates in the revamped format for August-December 2021 so that the disclosures are consistent.
