Calling for donations! We’re running Lemmy.World for you to use for free, however the running costs aren’t for free… If you appreciate our services and are willing and able to help out paying the bills, please consider a donation on one of these platforms:
- https://ko-fi.com/fhfworld - Preferred.
- https://liberapay.com/fhf
- https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld - (Either recurring or one-time donations).
- https://patreon.com/mastodonworld - (Recurring donations only)
- https://bunq.me/fhf - This is a Dutch bank account for those looking for SEPA / IBAN bank transfers
We have a blog with overview of the running costs, which is severely outdated… I will update this before the next call for donations: https://blog.mastodon.world/


I recommend writing a log of donations. Then you can look at where you donated, when and how much, and remind yourself of where you want to send money again.
Now, I am pretty lazy. So it’s just my_donations.txt, open with Vim and whip out that calculator. Should probably be a spreadsheet instead. I don’t know if Calc let’s me do math based on key (place of donation).
I guess I could have separate columns per key (to maintain log nature), then do subtotal per key to specific cells, then grand total from those cells.
Still begs the question of how I would do that per year.
Sperate columns each year?
Just make range selection at the end of year?
To be honest, I never actually used any spreadsheet software. I suppose there might be some logic, if so, there sure would be a way to check the date column on same row as amount.
But anyway, Vim + calculator. 👍
I use libre Calc for my donations.
If you want to sum based on a criteria you can use sumif().
I use it to track what types of donations I make (deductible, political, etc)
