Detailed records of income (including [https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/donate/ donations]) and expenditure by the Foundation are kept in accordance with UK accounting standards. The Foundation has a legal obligation to publish its accounts annually at Companies House. The majority of the Foundation's income comes from donations and [https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/#Membership-Categories membership]. Donations come in two kinds - regular donations we receive all year round, and specific hardware donations in response to occasional fundraising appeals. It is worth noting that there's a lot of OpenStreetMap funding that does not get channelled through the Foundation, such as funds being made available to [[Local_Chapters\|local chapters]] or related organisations, or businesses allowing their employees to spend time working on OSM related matters. When the Foundation was formed, the membership was polled about how income should be spent and we received a mandate to spend 60% of income on hardware, 20% on promotion and 20% on legal matters. Currently, the Foundation’s expenditure is mainly on server hardware, and activities that promote the project (typically, travel expenses for speaking engagements, board meetings and the like). == Treasurer's Report == Below are financial-related updates provided by the OSMF Treasurer during the [[Monthly_Board_Meetings\|monthly board meetings]]. Please note that additional financial topics are discussed during some of those meetings. * ''2023 [[Board/Minutes/2023-01#Treasurer.27s_report\|Jan]], [[Board/Minutes/2023-02#Treasurer.27s_report\|Feb]], [[Board/Minutes/2023-03#Treasurer.27s_report\|Mar]], [[Board/Minutes/2023-04#Treasurer.27s_report\|Apr]], [[Board/Minutes/2023-05#Treasurer.27s_report\|May]], [[Board/Minutes/2023-06#Treasurer.27s_report\|Jun]]'', [[Board/Minutes/2023-07#Treasurer.27s_report\|Jul]]'', [[Board/Minutes/2023-08#Treasurer.27s_report\|Aug]]'' * ''2022 [[Board/Minutes/2022-01#Treasurer.27s_report\|Jan]], [[Board/Minutes/2022-02#Treasurer.27s_report\|Feb]], [[Board/Minutes/2022-03#Treasurer.27s_report\|Mar]], [[Board/Minutes/2022-04#Treasurer.27s_report\|Apr]], [[Board/Minutes/2022-05#Treasurer.27s_report\|May]], [[Board/Minutes/2022-06#Treasurer.27s_report\|Jun]], [[Board/Minutes/2022-07#Treasurer.27s_report\|Jul]], [[Board/Minutes/2022-08#Treasurer.27s_report\|Aug]], [[Board/Minutes/2022-09#Treasurer.27s_report\|Sep]], [[Board/Minutes/2022-10#Treasurer.27s_report\|Oct]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-12#Treasurer.27s_report\|Nov]] * ''2021 [[Board/Minutes/2021-01#Treasurer.27s_report\|Jan]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-02#Treasurer.27s_report\|Feb]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-03#Treasurer.27s_report\|Mar]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-04#Treasurer.27s_report\|Apr]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-05#Treasurer.27s_report\|May]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-06#Treasurer.27s_report\|Jun]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-07#Treasurer.27s_report\|Jul]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-08#Treasurer.27s_report\|Aug]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-09#Treasurer.27s_report\|Sep]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-10#Treasurer.27s_report\|Oct]], [[Board/Minutes/2021-11#Treasurer.27s_report\|Nov]]
