[snarfed] hey [aaronpk] (et al), have you ever posted a state of the IndieWeb's finances?
#
[snarfed] just curious. based on https://opencollective.com/indieweb#category-BUDGET, seems like we have a big endowment due to handshake's $50k grant, and we also currently run a pretty big surplus, $5k+/yr donations vs around $1200/yr expenses
#
[snarfed] should we start encouraging people to donate elsewhere instead?
#
capjamesg Who are Handshake?
#
[snarfed] org that donated a while ago, I'll defer to [aaronpk] on how much has been disclosed
#
[snarfed] lol "Incognito" https://opencollective.com/indieweb#section-top-financial-contributors
#
aaronpk We wouldn't be running such a surplus if we had been organizing in person events, that threw things off quite a bit

[tantek] well, once we do in-person events again, we can fund things like daily rapid tests, maybe IWC branded masks for folks too

[tantek] IndieWebCamp Organizing << Brainstorming: in-person IWCs, fund daily rapid tests for all participants, perhaps IWC branded KN95 masks for folks, complimentary N95 masks as well for all participants
#
Loqi ok, I added "Brainstorming: in-person IWCs, fund daily rapid tests for all participants, perhaps IWC branded KN95 masks for folks, complimentary N95 masks as well for all participants" to the "See Also" section of /IndieWebCamp_Organizing https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=87070&oldid=76738
#
[tantek] we should make such baseline safety measures available for all in-person participants
