I find this rather disturbing. Most non-profits to which I donate have
some provision for designating a subgroup to benefit from the money. For
example, if I write a check to "San Diego City College Foundation" and
write "Robotics" in the memo field, it shows up as money the San Diego
City College Robotics team can spend.
If Apache only manages funds on a whole foundation basis, I will
probably never add ASF to my donation list.

Apache OpenOffice does not receive donations and does not manage a budget.
It happens there are some funds "on-account" at the ASF that are available to
OpenOffice. Those arrived in an unusual manner in the early history of the project.
That exception is unlikely to repeat.
Generally, the Apache Software Foundation has a budget and manages funds.
There are treasurer reports in every monthly Board Report at the foundation
level. You can see those at
<http://www.apache.org/foundation/board/calendar.html>.
In some case, projects can request that funds available for some purpose be
expended on behalf of the project. For example, application for and renewal of
trademark registrations is done by requests to the VP Branding. That VP will
make requests for budget to cover anticipated expenses of that kind.
Similarly, Infrastructure might be worked with to fund the contract labor and
any hardware and operating costs of build slaves dedicated for OpenOffice use.

Unfortunately this community hasnt been very vocal about budgeting and
is
very lurky to know if we have any funds at all at the end of the day, we

In looking at the web pages to see where to insert mentoring offers

has
a link to "make a small donation". Does that collect any money, and

good question. But only the Apache treasury can answer this. Please
note
the you don't donate to a special project but to the whole foundation.
And
the foundation is giving it to the projects.
so might it help with buildbot costs?
You mean getting the hardware and the Infra maintenance paid? I don't
know
of other costs.
