Re: Money for Projects
You can already donate to thousands of charities (including Apache and EFF) using JustGive.org.

Most formal organizations inside Open Source and out have this function and get very little funding from it. Also, there are many projects that are not formal 501 (c) (3) organizations and they don't get listed on these sites. Finally for those individuals running projects that aren't formal organizations who put PayPal links off their web pages rarely get any traffic to that page at all. But all of the above is only part of the problem as most of the time people only give when there is an event. When help is provided on a mailing list, the person that got their butt saved is in a state of mind to give back to the person that helped them. That volunteer providing the help might support Apache, Horde and Save the Redwoods but the person giving back in recognition of the support would have no clue about these being the causes the person providing help supported. We aren't trying to replace the online donation functions that exist today off of web sites or through JustGive.org. We just believe that someone volunteering their knowledge over the web through email could now have an opportunity to get recognized in a way that is more powerful. Plus, we allow individuals to get money for their own personal projects in a way that JustGive.org doesn't offer. At least it doesn't exist today. As far as the fee, 10% charged to the person giving the money might be a big amount if we were handling large donations. We feel as though people with large donations will use other direct donation methods and use Affero for the $5, $10 type of thanks Bank fees alone and the admin overhead of getting checks to all of the individual projects and non-profits eat away at this fee big time. With Affero you can have one or multiple charites your volunteering for in a your profile. . You can have multiple profiles. So, if your answering questions on the tomcat list and you want to give to apache, you can. If your on another list you can have a completely different profile. In the future we will have many more tools for the volunteer. In fact we would love feedback from Users like you providing support to help that development. - Chris How valuable is my contribution?
