    <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">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>
