The SFC aims to create better non-profit accounting software
The Software Freedom Conservancy has announced a campaign to raise money and hire a developer to produce a useful, free-software accounting system aimed at the needs of non-profit organizations. "Indeed, Conservancy reached out into the broader fiscal sponsorship community beyond the FLOSS NPO community and discovered that many larger fiscal sponsors — even those willing to use proprietary components — have cobbled together their own unique systems, idiosyncratically tailored to their specific environments. Thus, good, well-designed, and reusable accounting software for non-profit fiscal sponsorship is not just missing in the software freedom community; it's missing altogether." The goal is to raise $75,000 for the first year's worth of work.
