Hi Helena, Thanks for looking into this ! I'll have to dig into the account a bit further in order to see if any of that money is carry-over from OSGeo. Most should be from our own fundraising. This also depends on whether OSGeo considers that projects have to first spend any money they have from fundraising before tapping into the foundation subsidy, or the other way around.
