[Noisebridge-discuss] $500 donation - what would noisebridge do with it?

[jim]

   $500.00 is significant money for which patrick may 
want 501(c)3 tax credit, in which case he should give 
the money to the treasurer. 
   i am sympathetic to respecting donors' wishes to 
donate things and/or money for specific purposes. i'm 
also sympathetic to rejecting such dedicated 
donations if they're more hassle than valuable. but 
i'm not aware of any way-inappropriate or high-hassle 
factor donations so far.
