Finances
The MetaBrainz Foundation practices a policy of transparent finances where
the finances of the non-profit are freely available on this web site. This financial
philosophy allows the monetary contributors to MetaBrainz and information contributors
to MusicBrainz to see how the non-profit spends the donations and license fees it
collects. Since MusicBrainz was built with volunteer effort and MetaBrainz is supported
in part by volunteer donations, we believe that our contributors have the right
to see how the non-profit manages its finances.
The non-profit plans to publish all aspects of its finances, as far as that is possible.
In some cases, third parties making payments to the non-profit require us to not disclose
the sums paid to us for various activities. For instance, one affiliate of MetaBrainz
prevents us from publishing the details of earnings from an affiliate program. In these cases
we will anonymize these payments before publishing on this site.
Donations
Please visit our donation tracker to see what donations we have
received. Also, visit our highest donation list to see list of the big
MetaBrainz supporters.
Reports
In the first week of each month we will attempt to publish the balance sheet of the preceding month.
In some cases, we may be too busy with other tasks to carry this out in the first week -- however,
we will attempt to publish the results as soon as possible.
