::I also found a (former?) office called [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Grants_Coordinator Grants Coordinator], but it looks like it's been vacant for 4 years. -- [[User:Eriksiers|Erik Siers]] 07:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
::: Thanks for looking that up. I've been really busy, which is why I haven't chimed in on RC much, but I've got some stuff planned which is likely to help. I haven't updated the finances page in a while, too, and I need to; I just did the taxes. (I only hope I did them right...) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 13:36, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
====Paid Memberships====
It occurs to me that many, many, '''many''' sites have both free members and paid members, where the paid members get additional functionality (or content or whatever).
Pros:
*essentially "free money" for RC
*requires little additional admin work... I think
Cons:
*would have to get set up with a company that does online payments (Paypal or CCbill or whatever)
**would ''definitely'' cost money (probably a setup fee, ''definitely'' a per-transaction fee, possibly recurring fees just to keep account open, etc.)
*would require thinking up and implementing some sort of incentive for people to sign up
*might not be 401.3c-compatible (I don't know the rules)
I don't know how likely this is, but I don't see it mentioned elsewhere on this page. -- [[User:Eriksiers|Erik Siers]] 15:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
