Funding Tools

[gusaus]

Members and collectives associated with our Contributor Group have been testing and contributing to a variety of Funding tools including -

• Funding module (Drupal)
• Open Collective Events Integration (Drupal)
• Newspack Donate Block (WordPress)
• Open Collective Integration (Drupal)

In addition, we've been exploring a variety of other integrations including -

• GitHub sponsors/Open Collective integration
• GitLab sponsors/Open Collective integration
• Funding plugin / WordPress
• Ethical Ads/Open Collective integration

Based on some recent Slack discussions around fundraising and sustainability experiments, I'd like to add the following to the list of projects our Community Contributor Group could potentially leverage and contribute to -

• https://github.com/communitycontributorgroup/discover
• https://github.com/communitycontributorgroup/fundoss

If either seem valuable and beneficial, I think we could make those (and all the projects we're identifying here) priorities of the Fundraising working group #11 we'd like to enable.

Rather than enabling issues in our fork(s), I'll just reference recent comments in issues related to the FundOSS platform.

• FundOSS Round Deux: Features, Failures and Fixes FUNDOSS/fundoss#42 (comment)
• MVP needs and requirements supermodularxyz/simplegrants#1 (comment)
• Open Source Web2 SimpleGrants Platform supermodularxyz/supermodules#1 (comment)

The last one outlines the initial scope and bounty for the platform we'd like to help finish and then use as a base for FundOSS and related programs. Our needs are further described in FUNDOSS/fundoss#42 (comment)

I'll go ahead and ping folks I've been inviting to the @communitycontributorgroup/developers team (assuming that's the proper mention) to see if they have interest/availability (or know anyone) for needs referenced in the last comment.
