"Additionally we have transferred into Friends of IOTA, with the agreement of the trustees, a sum of GBP 2,661.43 previously in the W4BAA Trust Fund - this was set up by bequest for the betterment of the IOTA Programme. The sum total of GBP 15,893.92 is available both for IT and also, where restricted, promotional expenditure. We now have 116 contributors in 31 countries and we are immensely grateful to them for their generosity and support at this time of need". Nonetheless, "we are still significantly short of our target on the IT paperless QSLing project", and therefore donations are still gratefully received through PayPal to the email address islandsontheair[@]outlook.com (in the comments field add "Friends of IOTA" and your callsign to identify you).
