federated.press has a new fiscal host: here's how to resume your membership
Published on July 12, 2024 by Joshua Wood
Hi everyone! As you know, Open Collective Foundation — our fiscal host that allows us to receive tax-deductible donations to pay our server expenses — shut down earlier this year. It's taken a while to figure out what to do next, but I'm happy to report that we have a new fiscal host: HCB.
Moving forward HCB will manage all of our finances, which will remain transparent through their crowdfunding platform—just like Open Collective. Our remaining (small) balance at Open Collective has also been transferred to the HCB platform. You can view our public financial report here.
Best of all, donations to federated.press will continue to be tax-deductable as a fiscally sponsored 501(c)3 legal entity.
If you were previously a monthly or annual contributor to federated.press (or if you have an account and would like to help sustain the service/community), please head over to our new donations page and renew your membership there. Choose "Monthly" and enter the amount that works for you. If you prefer to make one-time contributions, you can do that too!
Any amount is appreciated. Our monthly expenses are still roughly $200/month not including my time, and with the funding platform change we're starting from $0/month. If you've contributed in the past, thank you so much!
