Other budgeted expenses follow the 2015 budget.

Each funded project will have its own pool, in order to track per-project donations. Seed this pool with $2250 from the General Fund, usable retroactively (i.e. the pool can be used to cover the Feb 3-6 meeting in Sydney, Australia.)Īllocate $250 each to the three existing funded project proposals, and to three new funded projects (to be determined in a subsequent board vote).

Since the hackfest-targeted fundraising has proven successful, no additional money is being allocated from the General Fund we’ll rely on the balance from last year and ongoing fundraising to cover these expenses.Įstablish a new SVG Working Group funding pool. Assume an increase of 150% in the budgeted amounts over last year, to make provision for increased attendance. The money in this pool will be used exclusively for Hackfest sponsorship and related organizational costs. Generalize last year’s Hackfest:2015 pool to cover future Hackfests. We will still have a General Fund for general expenses and untargeted donations. įormalize the division of Inkscape’s funds into distinct “pools”, each carrying balances year to year, and registered in Paypal to allow donors to directly target the pool they wish to fund, as we did in 2015 for hackfest:2015 donations. We will stretch the 2015 budget to cover expenses through.
