Yes we do seek philanthropic support and funding. At the moment there
has been no specific policy set down regarding the sources of
donations or support (largely because we haven't yet encountered a
circumstance where there is any complexity regarding the background of
a funder or donor). This could be something to raise for a Board
decision at the next Board meeting (scheduled for June) [1].
