== Zelle ==

I'm reviewing the accounts we have, and it's not clear to me that we actually have a Zelle account set up. I am unable to do edits to this page, perhaps due to permission restrictions, but I think we should comment it out until we are absolutely certain where money sent to the account indicated would go. --[[User:Pikurasa|Pikurasa]] ([[User talk:Pikurasa|talk]]) 13:11, 9 April 2024 (EDT)

== From outside the US ==

The note about wire transfers is hidden inside the "Mail us a check" section. It would be nice to make it more prominent by moving it to a new section titled "From outside the US". The text could read:

Donations from banks outside of the US or not in US dollars should be handled by wire. Donors wishing to send a wire should contact <conservancy@softwarefreedom.org>.

You might want to team up with other donors to save international banking fees. Feel free to post to [[Mailing_Lists#General_Lists|iaep]]. If you're inside the EU you may contact [[User:Sascha_silbe|Sascha Silbe]].

== Membership ==

I would like to propose that Sugar Labs reconsiders adding a membership structure for donors. It appears this was already discussed in the oversight board meeting that took place 2008/09/19, as indicated in the meeting minutes excerpt:"We also discussed the idea of members dues, but reached consensus that it wasn't a good idea at this stage."

== Donating hardware ==

If you donate hardware to Sugar Labs and give us a full inventory that you donate, we will send a letter back that acknowledges the in-kind donation. As far as the value of the donation and how much you can you use as a tax deduction, that's up to the donor to discuss with their accountant, using the acknowledgment of the in-kind donation. In other words, the recipient 501(c)(3) organization doesn't get

involved with what the financial value is, it merely acknowledges for the donor that the physical items have been received as an in-kind donation on a particular date. The rest is for the donor and their

accountants to figure out.
