Good evening Juliana, I just joined the Finance team a few days ago. Will check in with them to find out. Can we get more details? - Date of donation - Name of company making donation - Amount Or if prefer to keep these details more private, then maybe we can have someone talk to you one on one. Thanks, Shirlee Sent from my iPhone On Sep 19, 2022, at 5:25 PM, Juliana A via sudo-discuss < sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org&gt; wrote:  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. -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list -- sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org More options at https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/

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. -jake On Mon, 19 Sep 2022, Juliana A via sudo-discuss wrote: _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list -- sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org More options at https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/

Hello Juliana, I am supporting the Omni Commons finance working group. It would help to know what form did the donation transaction happen? Was it through our donation portal founded on our website? Or possibly delivered in check/cash form? Other details Shirlee stated above will also help in the search. Happy to track the donation and then authorize a receipt :) Silver On Tue, Sep 20, 2022 at 2:36 AM Yardena Cohen via sudo-discuss &lt;sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org&gt; wrote: > > 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.
