This is an interesting request. Does anyone have any good ideas about
how to be sure how money will be spent for hackfests?
I could say that the money will go into the pool used to transport
people and allow them to stay here in Boston?

I'd just give them a list of the development attendees, and let them know
what was accomplished last year as a result of the efforts. They may be
interested in our outreach and community building plans and the open nature
of our hackfests.
Maybe we could slap their logo up next to the hackfest graphic in a
sponsored by area.
Just a few thoughts.

Hello,
My name is Danny Young. I'm on the board of directors of
ASIFA-Hollywood in Los Angeles. I'm our designated liaison with the open
source community. We're interested in making a donation of $250USD with
some of our funds earmarked for open source projects. The proposal is to
donate towards the March Hackfest. Because this would be an international
transfer for us, the board said it would be most comfortable if we could
receive a written explanation of what specifically the money would go
towards. As a non-profit organization these things go a long way towards
keeping us in good faith with our membership.
If you don't mind doing that for us then I'd be happy to forward the
info along to our CFO who could make the donation.
Furthermore, if you have ideas or suggestions as to how we can help
support Inkscape and the open source community in general, please feel free
to share that with me. I'd love to hear it. Thank you for your time. I
hope to hear from you soon.

I'm okay with us providing a note, I think it is just a promise from the
board. But, I'm not sure that the note needs to come from SFC since
they'd be technically writing the check to them, earmarked for us.
We should, after that, talk about a bronze sponsorship. I imagine for
them putting their name on our website would be a very visible key to
their membership of where their money went.

Yes, as part of the request SFC would be directed to tag it in ledger
for the hackfest pool.

Perhaps what they're actually asking for here is an invoice. That's
pretty typical for event sponsors for X.org that I've worked with.
Please have them contact me directly to get the above worked out.
(In general, we should have a more direct path for prospective sponsors
to get into contact with me.)
