Overview

As a Brigade Leader I want to raise money for my brigade on a project by project basis using GitHub Sponsors.

Action Items

Resources/Instructions

_Excerpt from a message sent to Will at Code for America in December 2020 from Hack for LA (which is currently being fiscally sponsored _

Hack for LA and other brigades are having a hard time fundraising. This has been made harder by the change last year, not to provide a direct URL where people can donate to a brigade, but instead a general URL where then a brigade has to be chosen from a drop down on a donorbox form that lives on the Code for America website.

In the meantime other fiscal sponsors have made it even easier for people to make donations earmarked for their sponsored projects. See Open Collective as an example of how they are connecting their projects with Github Sponsors: https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/github-sponsors

Here are the instructions that GitHub provides for organizations that are their own 501(c)(3) to setup GitHub sponsors. CfA will need to setup first before being able to help brigades get setup.
