Hello everyone!

 

As always with these posts, I’d like to drop a quick reminder that there are more ways to support Homecoming than just through donations. For a general overview of the different ways you can help Homecoming, check out this thread.

Last Month: April 2023

 

Last month we accepted $4,922.96 in donations, $6.50 over our target for the month. As always, any additional funding remaining at the end of each month is put towards our operating expenses for the following month or additional expenses for the current month.

 

Here is the breakdown of our expenses in April:

• $4,372.43 for our hardware infrastructure from OVH
• $464 for our annual tax and filing fees
  • Shown below as separate $300 and $164 transactions
• $121.57 for our Google G-Suite services
• $34.00 for two 1-year domain renewals
  • These will be billed in may due to billing delays with IONOS
• $25.00 for our Air instance from Paperspace
• $19.83 for the AWS EC2 instance serving our email
• $9.73 for security / administration software

Again, I donated to ensure stealing and kidnapping remain "a thing".

An example of give and take. (rimshots)

[Dallayna]

Still ain't got much but I can still at least drop a few into the hat when it comes around for the month.

 

And I still always hope it helps-- even if it is only a little bit.

 

Thanks so much to you folks for everything you do to keep the servers running. 😊
