The GNOME Foundation 2015 financial year ran from October 1st, 2014 to September 30th, 2015.

From 2012, OPW was moved from "Sponsorship" to its own line in the summary.
Donations: one time and subscription donations from individuals.
European conferences (GUADEC and Desktop Summit): the income from any specific year often shows up on the budget for the following year. For example, the income from 2009 Desktop Summit shows up in the 2010 accounts. The income from 2010 GUADEC shows up in the 2011 accounts.
Some GUADEC/DS conference income and expenses are handled by the organizing teams, so this is not a good indication of turnover.
Royalties: from merchandise sales and Amazon referral fees.
Outreach Program for Women: in the 2010-2012 financial years, the income from OPW was under "Sponsorship."

The GNOME Foundation employed an executive director and an administrator, and contracted a system administrator in 2013.
Some GUADEC/Desktop Summit conference income and expenses were handled by the organizing teams, so this is not a good indication of turnover.
The 2011 and 2012 OPW expenses were offset by income under "Sponsorship" for those years.
