//Abbreviations used in this page [[:ecohackerfarm:EHF|EHF for Eco Hacker Farm]]//

===== Our Current Financial Model =====

==== Donations ====

We currently receive no financial support from governmental bodies, foundations, or other NGOs. Individuals who support our projects [[ecohackerfarm:donations|donate]] money to keep us going.

==== Loans from Members ====

Members are able to provide loans to Eco Hacker Farm at times when these are needed, as a necessity and not on a whim. The aim of the project is ultimately to be self sufficient and therefore not need credit from its members. 

A practical example of a situation where a loan is necessary is as follows: 

  * We have pre-approved annual server fees that are paid for by member X (due to admin rights)
  * Member X provides EHF with proof of payment
  * Member X has 3 options:
    * inform EHF to treat the payment as a [[ecohackerfarm:donations|donation]]
    * inform EHF to treat the payment as a [[:finance:loans|loan]] and get reimbursed after 1 week
    * inform EHF to treat the payment as a [[:finance:loans|loan]] and let us know the reimbursement is not needed until a later date

It is important to note that members are only reimbursed when these are pre-approved by [[:ecohackerfarm:EHF|EHF]]. If you are interested you can read more about [[:finance:loans|the terms for pre-approval of expenses and reimbursements / loan repayment]].

=== Liabilities ===

We would like to increase our payment for the uberspace server services to 10 Eur a month for a total of 120 Eur a year. Uberspace provides the service at a pay as much as you want basis and we would like to support this. 

This brings up our [[:basic_costs|Basic Costs]] annual expenditure to not more than 165 Eur a year.

With the surplus funding we would like to support all Eco Hacker Farm projects as per the below:
