Clarifying question: where, specifically, will those funds come from / go to (in the *bank account* sense)? 1. If someone is hoping to donate funds *to the ASF* related to any topic, you should work with VP Fundraising: https://fundraising.apache.org/ 2. If you're working on getting anyone to donate *to Outreachy*, then just go for it! If donors want Outreachy to sponsor internships at the ASF, the financing side is up to Outreachy, not us. Then the real questions will be 1) finding committed mentors at specific Apache projects, and 2) having D&I or other meta-mentors here ensuring all the coordination is done between the ASF and Outreachy. As a general statement, 2. above is easy; 1. above will require more discussion and approval from the board and Fundraising. Other question: who here is directly working with someone at Outreachy, and have you asked if they want to join us on dev@ here? 8-) -- - Shane Member The Apache Software Foundation
