|''We received an automatic email, suggesting registration of OSMF at the [https://causes.benevity.org/ Benevity Causes Portal] to qualify for donations and real-time corporate matching funds from various companies. ''
* ''Would require annual self-certification against common eligibility requirements to qualify for inclusion in companies giving or matching programs.''
''<u>Points mentioned during email discussion</u>:''
''Might not worth it.''
''Options if we go ahead:''
* ''Check availability of scheme for non-charities.''
* ''Become a charity. Complex step that would lead to more strict financial reporting requirements and also have operational effects on what we can do with our money.''
* ''Try to attain 501(c)(3) equivalency in the US. Would require some work to get done (and might or might not work).''
* ''Suggestion that funds could be redirected to [[Local_Chapters|local chapters]].''
