Ah, I see I didn't transfer my thoughts well :( civicrm.org and backdropcms.org are free platforms that can be used to replicate an Open Collective reporting system. The jurisdiction of either has nothing to do with [TDE-ORG] (or any of their other users). The rates were PayPal, those rates don’t apply to checks and any other monies that can be processed by the bank the [TDE-ORG] checking account is with. They are both what I am moving my own site and the vast majority of my clients to in preparations for Drupal 7 going end of life in November 2021. (It may claim to be for NGOs, but it’s also used by commercial entities for it’s completeness of functions.) My unwritten assumption was that I was the one building/hosting/upgrading/managing the civicrm and backdropcms site, hence it was ‘free’ to the [TDE-ORG]. The other unwritten bits were that civicrm is able to replace much of the scattered functions TDE has today into a single, integrated, space. [1] [TDE-ORG] would need at least: - legal status as a non-profit - checking account(s) [TDE-ORG] could use: - someone who can read and do simple math for a tax return Creating [TDE-ORG] as a non-profit is not exceptionally difficult (even in the US [2]), it’s just a matter of reading, filling out forms, and paying a filing fee. If we even need help with that, we can ask any other Linux/tech related NGO questions. Best, Michael [1] The CiviCRM User Guide: Note: It needs a much better TOC, the ‘Next’ topic link is bottom-right on the page. https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/introduction/what-is-civicrm/ [2] Huh, the Amazon Smile thing seems to only be for USA based non-profits? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
