[$] Free-software foundations face fundraising problems

Description:
In July, at the GNOME annual general meeting (AGM),
held at GUADEC
2024 ,
the message from the GNOME Foundation board was that all was well,
financially speaking. Not great , but the foundation was on a
break-even budget and expected to go into its next fiscal year with a
similar budget and headcount. On October7, however, the board announced that 
it had had to make some cuts, including reducing its staff by
two people. This is not, however, strictly a GNOME problem: similar
organizations, such as the Python Software Foundation (PSF), KDEe.V., 
and the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) are seeing declines in
fundraising while also being affected by inflation.
