reminder of google form for goons who needs $ -- wanted to circle back on this ted hitler hunter posted:maybe this has already been covered but what resources if any are available to people outside the US & UK? was kicking around an idea that the current "interim" system could separate off from this thread and become semi-permanent for non-US-UK goons once the corporate bank account is set up for this US goonfund. It would need to be unaffiliated with this one for legal reasons, but I do think it could probably provide the same level of transparency we're able to offer now (in the interim) while enabling goons to direct donate to each other in a seamless way. (was kingcobweb's idea to possibly apply this to helping goons outside the US/UK, so credit to them) something to consider.

To continue our commitment to transparency and to show a bit behind the curtain, here's a small summary of what the committee has discussed in the private channel:quote:Committee was worried about people falling through the cracks while incorporation was proceeding. Most of this you will likely already know happened if you have been following this thread for the past few weeks, but I also wanted to show that the committee is not as bureaucratic as it can come off. Finally, for the financial disclosures: There has been $2,295 disbursed ($40 extra spent to register the corporation). 10 people have made donations, 12 people have signed up to make donations. 12 requests have been fulfilled over 19 transactions made. There is one pending request - requester has stated the need is not an urgent one. As always a big thanks to the donors, and if you are in need of aid (no matter where you are right now!!) please go here to request help!

I was predisposed towards suspicion to this fund, but they came through within 24 hours on a request I didn't mark as urgent out of guilt. Thanks to goons I was able to give the kitty I adopted off the street 15 years ago (with a MUCH different financial outlook, poo poo) a peaceful rest instead of weeks of protracted organ failure so.. Yeah, that was very good and kind and cool of you. One donor included a note with the funds that I was also touched by, I assume it was one of the board members directly given the context. Thank you, she deserved better than she got but she got better than I could provide in the end, and it helped/helps tremendously.

A way to help people outside the US would be great, a Goon I know is having trouble finding work and the financial situation is causing them a lot of stress and I'd love to be able to point them to this thread but they're in Canada and not the US and the other fund doesn't seem to be operating right now.

Right now the fund is operating in an interim fashion until the paperwork stuff is all cleared, where donors are being connected directly with recipients, so its very possible that your friend could get assisted, if they want to message one of the committee about their needs and want to use paypal / venmo. After the fund is all incorporated and such, there was an idea that we were batting around of carrying on this practice as some separate project, since yeah there's non-US goons that could use assistance.

The plinkey fund is still technically active even if the thread is closed you could try that although IDK for sure if he sent money outside the US

I am very very far from an expert, but sending money internationally definitely has some extra challenges (most notably fees and exchange rates, since I doubt the amounts we're talking about are going to raise any regulator eyebrows). Also I'm really not sure what the best way of making such transfers is except that it's definitely not Paypal because they really stack up the fees and I think do some exchange rate shenanigans on top of it. (I've been part of transfers to and from the UK and it works but the sender pays through the nose). (Zelle and Venmo don't support international transactions at all). This is not to discourage anyone, this is definitely a solvable problem (and I'm glad I'm not the one who has to solve it, lol)

I wish I had an answer for this, unfortunately my expertise is in the tracking incoming contributions sphere; if you all are planning to use some fancy CRM (my former employer offers a free tier, and I think there's still a goon on the conversions team!) you may be able to get a "coach" of sorts that can talk through these more complex questions with you. From my very basic understanding you have to have clearance by both national governments so while it is possible to do, it'll definitely take time to set up properly so you don't run afoul of tax law foreign and domestic.

Just to be clear, I'm a total outsider for this fund. Just rambling based on personal experience (and as 3DM says, Paypal definitely works, I just feel like there are probably better ways).

the only solution is for the goon fund to raise seed money and get involved in crypto but for a non joke answer i am not sure there is a non lovely way to quickly transfer money abroad. given how widespread remittances are it just seems like an area of finance that would be extremely and universally predatory.

as several others already mentioned, international is not currently off limits for this fund so people should just submit the requests anyways. we'll have to limit intentionally when we start using pooled funds in the corporate account, but at that point it's possible to just keep this direct donations system going elsewhere ( outside this thread ) to help international folks, so that doesn't necessarily need to stop. it all depends on if there's enough donors to support it.
