Howdy y'all!
My pledge to fund the new organization to the tune of $500 for "web infrastructure" stuff - along with funding up to 10 people for a Google Apps for Business account (should we choose Google Apps as our organizational website host and groupware platform) means we hopefully don't have to worry about initial funding.
Should we end up with enough of a funding stream that I can be reimbursed for those initial expenses, I won't say "No", but I also won't mention it again.
As the group is likely to be small initially, as long as there are 9 or fewer members, (The Google Apps Administrator is the 10th account), I'll sign everyone up for the Google Apps accounts. And I'll worry later about how those of you who can afford it reimburse me the $50/person/year. Probably Pay Pal, but that's a future worry.
At some point, I think we'll need a bank account of some sort. If for nothing else than a place to accept donations! But that's also a bit into the future. For now, since I think I'm the only one I anticipate incurring expenses in the near term future, I'll just keep track of them and make them public when we have a groupware platform and website.
