4 title: [Announcement] PDPC Fundraiser
8 Good evening to everyone. Here's hoping you're having an excellent new year.
9 In the next day or so, [Peer-Directed Projects
10 Center]
(http://freenode.net/pdpc.shtml), the IRS
501(c)(
03) parent
11 organization of **freenode**, will begin its fundraising campaign for the
12 fiscal year ending
30 June
2006. We're still working on budget estimates for
13 FYE
2006, and we begin the campaign with about $
2,
440 in donations over and
14 above those required for the current year.
16 The board of directors of PDPC passed the following resolution today,
17 pertaining to fundraising:
19 > Whereas Peer-Directed Projects Center is an IRS
501(c)(
03) organization,
20 > with a responsibility to contribute to the public welfare, and whereas
21 > donors to PDPC represent a broad range of community participants, and
22 > whereas the recent tsunami has demonstrated a genuine need for public
23 > support for international relief and welfare organizations, and
25 > Whereas the welfare of children, nationally and internationally, is of
26 > significant importance to the future of Free and Open Source Software and
27 > Peer-Directed Projects, be it
29 > Resolved, that during the Fiscal Year ending June
30,
2005, one quarter of
30 > each donation to PDPC beginning in the near future will be forwarded to
31 > UNICEF, initially targetted toward tsunami relief efforts, provided that
32 > donors who so choose may opt out of this program and designate their
33 > donations specifically and solely for PDPC's own use, and
35 > Resolved, that the Executive Director is instructed to begin this program as
36 > soon as is feasible from a technical, financial and public relations
39 If you're considering a donation to PDPC, we strongly urge you to participate.
