For those who don’t know, why is this needing to be done? Also, why do you need contributions and what are they being used for?
(BTW, I just got started with a monthly. Thanks for y’all’s work)

our previous fiscal host is dissolving at the end of the year--most of the details are over in our previous announcement post; all contributions go toward keeping the website up and paying for any labor associated with it outside of admin work
Are you going to report balances in € now?
no, everything is still in USD (although i think the switch means we're losing slightly more to payment processing)
Does this also apply to donation themselves, i.e. that beehaw receives USD donation exclusively?
I have a bank account in EUR, and there are transaction and conversion fees (fixed+variable) each time I make a USD payment.
to be honest with you i have no clue what the logistics are for donations themselves. my intuition is... no, having managed our finances for the reports? but Chris almost certainly has a better idea of this than me.
🙃
they said Euro, not AUD!
That was quick
Eh.
All done! Glad y'all got things sorted. :)
Thanks for the update, I'm glad you found a quick solution to this!
Good job getting it done
