The SPI donations page at http://spi-inc.org/donations/ currently

These donations can be made to SPI directly, or they can be marked
for use by a particular member project. It is preferred that the
donations be made to SPI, as they can then be used wherever the need
is greatest. Donations to SPI that are not marked for a particular
project will be distributed to the projects that are currently
affiliated with SPI as needed, and/or used for SPI's own expenses.
I'm not speaking for the board now, but personally I disagree with
this policy.
Agreed.
It is notable that this statement is somewhat contradicted by the
Associated Project Howto, which states:
"In either case, it is important that the donor designate that the gift is
to go to the project. If a gift arrives without a designated project, the
Treasurer will attempt to contact the donor, and if unsuccessful will
place the money in the SPI general fund."
This has certainly been my expectation and I believe is also consistent
with current practice.
Speaking for myself as always.
Cheers,
Rob
