As Chris said, donations to buy a printer have nothing to do with SkullSpace as an organization. SkullSpace's funds are currently just for rent and required operational expenses. SkullSpace as an entity has no say in what members pool their money towards, nor does money in the pool count as cash donations (or fulfilled pledges) to SkullSpace.
