Dear Haskellers, The Haskell.org Committee [1] manages funds for haskell.org and oversees haskell.org infrastructure. The funds available to Haskell.org have historically come from two sources: 1) Mentor payments from the Google Summer of Code program. 2) Donations [2] from the Haskell community at large. Haskell.org is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit. A portion of our funds are held by Software in the Public Interest, also a 501(c)3 US non-profit, through which we also accept donations. In 2016 we were not accepted into the GSoC program, and ran a summer of haskell program along similar lines, funded by earmarked donations provided by individual and corporate sponsors and from our pool of general funds. A full list of sponsors is on the soh webpage [3]. 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 1 December 2015 - 31 December 2016. Aside from the SOH disbursements, our expenses are nearly entirely hosting, with a small overhead incurred by payment processing. SOH thus accounts for both our increased revenue (in the form of earmarked donations) and expenses this year. We do not have full statements from our SPI account yet, as their treasury reports are only complete through october at this time [4] although I hope that will be changed shortly. So this statement is produced as though the income and expenses on our spi account for the last for months of 2016 were net zero, though that was obviously not the case. Even in this incomplete state, I think it is better to provide this than nothing. Additionally, as this covers holdings in our haskell.org bank account, it does not reflect when funds received via paypal donations, are received by paypal, but rather when the lump sum transfers from them are received by us. So paypal donations made in December 2016, for example, will likely be reflected in our 2017 statement. A portion of the income in 2016 is also attributable to gsoc mentor payment from our participation in the 2015 program. Thanks to many generous donations, despite the substantial haskell summer of code expenditures, we are nonetheless net-positive in income (though the difference just about amounts to the outstanding gsoc payments from 2015). We hope to find good opportunity to put our reserves to use again in the coming year. 1.
