Hey CATs!
We need your help! Nurturing CAT is our passion and we are grateful for the opportunity to support this community on a daily basis. So far the costs of running this community and the services we use have been born by the organisers, however, we are growing fast as well as the costs. This has started to limit the things we want to do to help grow and support this community.
We’ve started an open collective (https://opencollective.com/climateaction-tech) to accept donations. This is a platform where you can donate to support CAT, the donations are stored by open collective and as an organisation, we can submit expense claims to cover the costs of running this community, everything is transparent, all transactions are visible on the website. If you feel this is something you want to contribute to I inbite you to contribute via https://opencollective.com/climateaction-tech
Remember you can unsubscribe (https://tech.us19.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=08b8a799dd414ce9163cf3474&id=97c1d5f785&e=[UNIQID]&c=ed57df8e4a) from this newsletter at any time.
Stay safe & healthy ððð±
