To: gentoo-nfp , gentoo-council Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" X-Archives-Salt: 56c22997-a008-4b1b-958d-9f08a622a405 X-Archives-Hash: df9234f9b610878c448343de336a5e98 Hello, We have recently paid our 2021 taxes ($2,508). In addition, we have paid estimated taxes for the 2022 year (for us this runs July 2021 - June 2022.) In Fiscal 2021 we had net revenues in excess of $14,000, which resulted in a fairly large tax bill (over 5k.) We only owed $2,508 because we were able to carry forward a loss from Fiscal 2020 (when we paid our back taxes.) We did not take a loss in Fiscal 2021, which means in 2022 we will owe a larger tax bill. To avoid this high tax bill, the president (me) and treasurer (robin) are endeavouring to spend more money in Fiscal 2022. We pay taxes only on revenue after expenses; so increasing our expenses will both reduce our tax burden as well as provide any value those expenses may deliver to Gentoo. To achieve this, we will likely spend significantly on computing infrastructure to replace aging assets hosted at the OSUOSL. Expect some draft RFPs for spending soon from the infra team which will go to the council for approval. As is typical for this time of year I am also eager for other ideas on how to allocate additional funds in service to Gentoo and its mission. -A
