Dear Haskellers,
The Haskell.org Committee [1] manages funds for haskell.org and oversees haskell.org infrastructure.
The funds available to Haskell.org generally come from two sources: 1) Mentor payments from the Google Summer of Code program. 2) Since the end of 2013, occasional donations [2] from the Haskell community at large. Our funds are held by Software in the Public Interest, a 501(c)3 US non-profit, through which we also accept donations. In return for its services, SPI receives 5% of donations to Haskell.org.
According to our charter, "Each year, the committee will post a statement of the haskell.org assets, and the transactions for that year."
Included in this message is a brief statement of Haskell.org assets over the period 31 December 2014 - 31 December 2015. Note that our expenses are nearly entirely hosting, with a small overhead incurred by SPI and payment processing. The bulk of our income this year, over which we did minimal fundraising, is $7,000 in mentor payments from google summer of code 2014 (mentor payments for 2015 have not yet been received). Hosting fees are down from years past, as we have migrated more of our infrastructure away from Hetzner and to Rackspace, which donates to us free hosting.
1. Income and Expenses Total income over 2014: 7751.46 Total expenses over 2014: 892.03 ---- Net income over 2014: 6859.43
3. Total Balance Balance as of 31 December 2014: 26,422.91 Balance as of 31 December 2015: 33,547.34
Note: As of December 2015, we have a moved a large chunk of our balance out of the SPI-held account and to a new account set up directly under the control of Haskell.Org, as Haskell.Org is now registered as a nonprofit 501(c)(3).
