Thank you Juliana!!
Jake, #1 was true a couple months ago, but Omni now has a very active
finance team who are working hard to reconcile 3+ months of recent
transactions. Marking donations as restricted funds towards a fiscally
sponsored project is not unusual and is not a problem. The team just
needs more time to catch up.
The only awkward part about it, in this case, is that we're not simply
adding a number to sudoroom's balance, but rather we're subtracting a
small number from a much larger number which is sudoroom's debt to
omni and which may very well get forgiven anyway. But either way it is
appreciated and recognized!

I believe the answers are like this:
1. we (Omni) are presently in-between accountants, so the person most qualified
to help doesn't exist at the moment (although someone should pipe up if they
know more than what i'm about to say)
2. sudoroom is a fiscally-sponsored project of the Omni Commons, which means
that with a letter to that effect, donations directly to sudoroom can be
claimed as tax-exempt using the non-profit ID number (EIN) of Omni Commons
3. donating to omni commons and asking for the funds to be considered "sudoroom
donations" might require some fiddling and sounds confusing. It would probably
be better to donate directly to sudoroom and use the above method to get it
exempt.

Hey so I did what I was instructed to some months
ago, I donated to Omni
commons because my employer can match donations and that's only possible to
Omni commons because they are an an official non-profit. I sent an email to
finance(a)omnicommons.org and say "I want this to go towards
sudoroom", but I haven't received any answer, can anyone confirm if that
worked? That's for August and September.
