The downsides of being frugal.
The #OpenStreetMap Foundation spends, even with a slightly more ambitious budget this year than previously, less than %1 of what WMF/Wikipedia does, but is struggling to make ends meet.
There is no threat a la the infamous Wikipedia ads that the project will shut down, but without the funds activities will have to be cut back significantly.

@simon does anyone know if, after donating, they offer a German Spendenbescheinigung or Zuwendungsbestätigung ? Thank you in advance 🙌

@dminca @openstreetmap you can get a receipt, but as the OSMF isn't a charity (not going in to the nitty gritty details of non-profits and all the associated differences from country to country) tl;dr that isn't going to help you.
Note however that the German OSMF local chapter is a charity, see fossgis.de/verein/spenden
