<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>@Marco: it is also for tax reasons. Sponsorships are subject to
VAT, memberships and donations are not. But a small amount of
sponsoring money would be fine, as long as we don't surpass 150 k
CHF per annum of total income that is subject to VAT. I don't
expect huge amounts from the github sponsorships. At least not in
the beginning.</p>
<p>Anyway - thanks for the negotiations with github!<br>
</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas<br>

<p>Hi Tim, <br>
</p>
<p>yes I remember, but it is not for tax reason IIRC but rather
the opposite. It is because institutions cannot sponsor.</p>
<p>Anyhow, let's see when we are accepted, from then the wording
is on us (see for example <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/sponsors/mbernasocchi"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/sponsors/mbernasocchi</a>)<br>
</p>
<p> Cheers</p>
<p>Marco<br>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>After 4-5 of months discussion with stakeholders in a
private repo (I was there for QGIS), last month GitHub
announced that they now support sponsoring for
organizations [1]. <br>
</p>
<p>Today I submitted QGIS.org to the waiting list. as soon
as we'll be accepted I'll update the sponsoring button
(that currently still only points to <a
href="https://qgis.org/funding" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://qgis.org/funding</a>)
to also allow "real" GH donations.</p>
<p>From that moment we'll be able to track how much comes
in directly from that channel.<br>
</p>
<p>please note that Sponsored organizations are not
eligible for GitHub Sponsors Matching Fund [2] as this
is for early-bird individual developers that subscribed
before 1.1.2020 only.</p>
<p>Ciao</p>
<p>Marco<br>
