Sorry, that's not correct.
The non-profit organization Haiku Inc. exists, so that the Haiku project can
accept tax-deductible donations. Haiku Inc. is just the means for that, nothing
more. The funds are bound to the Haiku project. The BOD is only the executing
party. The decisions where to spend that money has to be made by the active
Haiku contributors (BOD is likely a subset of that group). The BOD is then
responsible to transfer the money.
In order to get money approved you of course have to contact the BOD.
Please members of the BOD correct me, if I am wrong.
