I’ve posted the audio from my last interview with The Chapter here.
I received this update from The Chapter January 10th:
we are in the process of signing an agreement with [an organization that has agreed to transfer the funds], should be finished in about a week / then they can accept the transfer
(attached)
they have a bit nonsense fee structure, so they want 8% of transfers
under 25k USD, and 5% over 25k. I asked for a discount, but they
decided against it:
so it would be actually cheaper if you send us 25 thousand USD, pay
1250 fee and we send you 5120 back (or we can re-send it anywhere you
want)
we were able to secure additional funding for the gap in
“organization” budget sized $3000, so the organization budget is
covered no
at least temporarily we split the work into two positions -
something like “strategy director” (strategy, public communication,
fundraising) and “community directory” (coordination of volunteers,
meetups, member onboarding, etc...) with time dotation ca 15h and
30h/week, respectively, and I’m doing the strategy work, while
Kristina Nemcova is doing the community part. Timeframe for finding a
permanent director is 3 months when Kristina is leaving abroad
