Software Freedom Conservancy (suggested by Jamie and Laurie)
OFN, but they don’t usually fiscal sponsor and it would be a non-trivial amount of over head.
Regen Foundation (suggested by Paul)
Provide feedback in the funding proposal today! Need to submit by end of week.
Next month we’ll refine the Community Organizer job description, but earlier feedback is ideal!

[09:30] Jamie (he/him): are fiscal sponsor and fiscal host the same thing?
[09:31] Jamie (he/him): and is there a place to search for them through OC?
[09:31] Jamie (he/him): that’s what Software Freedom Conservancy does
[09:31] Jamie (he/him): to Laurie’s point
[09:34] Marcus: “There is no real difference between fiscal hosting and fiscal sponsorship. In the US you’ll likely see the term fiscal sponsorship used. However, in the UK you’re much more likely to see it called fiscal hosting.”
What is fiscal hosting and why you need it.
[09:34] Ankita: Call for a 5013c non-profit organization to serve as fiscal sponsor for GOAT 2024

Responding to the note on Pasa attendance – I assume we’re talking about the Pasa annual conference in February?
I am sure that someone from Wolfe’s Neck Center will be at this event, but I’m not positive about an OpenTEAM representative. Last year our WNC Research & Collaboration Network Manager and OpenTEAM Comms & Engagement Manager attended. I’m not sure if those same folks would attend, or if we will send others in 2024. Will keep you all posted as we get closer!
