Mark has ruled out the use of donations to support Groups.io itself (I think that's what he meant) but I'm still hopeful that he'll implement features to make it easier for group owners to use donations from group members to make the group's plan payments.
I'm not a lawyer, nor an accountant.
Soliciting donations can be a minefield.
One issue is having the appropriate licenses to solicit donations.
Taxes are a second issue.
I've forgotten the court case citation. A church run afoul of the county ordinance on soliciting donations, by not having the appropriate license. That the soliciting of donations was confined to passing the collection plate during the church service was irrelevant.
