Finances
Our promise
We promise that all of the profits made by the UKFSN.ORG operation will be used to fund Free Software in the UK.
Accountability
The above is a very big promise. I believe that it requires some means of verifying that it is being kept and that it should be possible for anyone to verify this easily.
To acheieve this I have decided that each month UKFSN will make a public statement showing how much income was generated and what the costs of providing the service were - although the figures below do not include salaries so the expenses are understated.
This page will contain the statements as they are released.
I believe that this is the standard to which anyone who is making a promise like the above should be held.
Previously UKFSN had an arrangement with the Association for Free Software for them to distribute the money however their grants programme hasn't worked out as I had hoped so UKFSN has now launched the UKFSN Profits Programme to manage this directly.
