News : Finance and expenses

We have a short time to fund Kuusi Palaa for season 2!

Please promote Kuusi Palaa on all your media platforms and through word of mouth! There is no singular strategy for this fundraising, rather each member can promote funding season 2 in anyway you feel is suitable.

We need to sell enough stakes to fund season 2 by June 15th. This is two weeks before the end of season 1, and this date was chosen because if we cannot fund season 2, Kuusi Palaa Osk needs to find a subletter to rent our premises through August 2018 according to our rental agreement.

Temporary's finances for April 2017 are now available as an Ethercalc spreadsheet. In summary, the expenses for April totalled 1175€ and the income was 100€, leaving a loss (-1075€). To date, the total operating loss of Temporary since opening in September 2016 is exactly 11000€!

We again thank Koneen Säätiö, whose working grants to two of Temporary's instigators allows us to continue to operate at such a loss. If you would like to donate to Temporary, either in cash, Ether, or Bitcoin, please see our information on donating.

Temporary's first month is in the books and we couldn't be more delighted with how it went. Amazingly, there are 98 of you who have registered on this site, and 65 of you attended at least one experiment. Already, Temporary has become a site of vibrant, strange and fun cultural exchange with a heavy social and participatory focus. Thank you to everyone and we hope October has just as much energy.

As this was Temporary's first month, expenses were quite high, involving costs for furniture, networking, hardware, and other supplies. Still, several people helped out by donating money to purchase Temps or other equipment. The bottom line is that Temporary cost 2940€ in September, with an income of 267€, leaving a debt of 2673€.

The full financial breakdown can be found as an Ethercalc spreadsheet and most of the receipts for credits can be found in the activity feed. There are some discrepancies in the Temps count due to errors writing to the blockchain, but these will be dealt with and re-submitted in the next few days so everything should be correct by then. 

If you have any questions, send an email to admin@ or just show up to the next Open Day and ask in person.
