I'm not sure if discussions on donations have progressed any further. I
just wanted to suggest something relatively simple with regards to
reporting donations. It would be quite nice to have a quarterly post on
the website describing the following:
-Current balance of Haiku Inc
-Total donations received in the quarter
-Brief outline on spending for the quarter
-Target for next quarter and what the project plans to spend out on
In terms of getting the information for the post I do know you can
download statements from Network for Good and Paypal. I don't know if
there is an easy method of pulling off information for the bank account
that Haiku Inc uses.
My suggestion would be for Michael to pass over this information to
someone who is compiling the post. I don't know if this would contain
sensitive information or if it would have to be a trusted individual who
handles it. Maybe anything sensitive can be stripped out first, although
that would be more time consuming. I would like to ask Michael if he
would be happy doing this. I would hope that it wouldn't be too much of
a burden.
As for setting goals/targets maybe it would be worth the admin group
having a meeting prior to the end of each quarter to discuss this?
If no one objects I would like to be the one to compile a post each
quarter. I welcome any suggestions or comments on the above.
Regards,
Simon Porter
PS I still want to have a bit of a nag for a paypal subscription button
on the donations page. I’d like give a regular amount to the project and
this would be the most convenient method for me.
