Hi Mike,

Regarding this point, I'm genuinely curious: how is
https://donate.openstreetmap.org/ not a good way for companies or
organizations to fund OSM? Do companies/organizations want more information
or certainty on how funds are going to be spent (such as the several
hardware fundraising drives that OSM did in the past, or sponsoring SotM,
or the SRE position now), or are they looking for a more structured way for
funding (such as the Corporate Membership scheme)?

Thanks,
Eugene
