How we work and what we do
If you want to get a deeper sense of what it is we do and how we are currently running the organization, please check the two documents below. Please note that we try to keep this up-to-date as well as we can, but with a world that is changing so rapidly, certain details might no longer be true.
Financial allocation
At the current stage of our organization, the financial resources are limited. Yet, we feel it’s important to have a transparent allocation plan and a place where those who are interested can find more details on the exact costs.
This is why we work with OpenCollective. Starting in January 2023, all expenses will be added to the page, giving our financial supporters direct insight into what is happening with their donations.
Our OpenCollective page can be found here.
After deducting the fixed costs for software and other services, we work with various allocations for the remaining capital. This will change when the income grows. Below is an overview of the current allocation strategy:
