I'm not sure I understand this correctly. It sounds like, "We wanted to pay you but we don't have the money now. We'll talk to the project and see if they will pay you instead." Has the work on the feature been completed? What sort of contract was created between Linux Fund and the developer? How are we involved, if at all, in this contract? What percentage of the total is $630?
It's more like, we'll put in some of the money, but we want donations to cover some of it too. They also received a donor who is matching other donations. The foundation would be effectively donating the final amount that hasn't been supplied by others.
I don't believe that any of the work has been done. The only work committed at this point is just in the development of the proposal. Though, I'm not sure on that.
Are there other alternatives? Could we offer to promote a special campaign to gather funds via donations to support the work?

It was announced. Though, not heavily promoted. I'm not sure if more promotion would make up the difference.
