To be clear, the HiFo bank account issues have been resolved, and the current Board can access funds again. The PayPal account linkage has not yet been re-established, which is mainly my bad. I've been dealing with a few issues in my personal life and this has fallen by the way side. I am hopeful that the PayPal linkage will be up again soon, but more for helping in paying our bills than for soliciting funds, honestly.

As Joerg noted, the Foundation currently has very few expenses and a reasonable amount in the bank. We do have a couple of long out-standing reimbursement requests to re-address, and possibly some other upcoming fees for (minor) legal items (required announcements, tax filings, etc). But outside that, the foundation is not currently hurting for funds thanks to the strong support shown by members at our start up.

Currently if you're looking to throw money at something to help the community at large, I personally suggest you look at funding Joerg's campaign to keep other important resources and activities alive, including the Neo900 project. I have full faith that he will handle funds for those projects with proper diligence, as he has already proven himself over the past several years in this regard.

To be clear, the above is a personal recommendation, and should not be taken as a view held or promoted by the Hildon Foundation, it's Board, nor construed as legal advice or political endorsement in any form.
