    I wrote this in an email to TPF in 2017:

    "If I donate with an earmark, will 100% of my donation go to the grant I specify, or will any portion of it be used for general operating expenses of the Foundation?"

    I did not receive an answer to that question in the reply. But my experience with foundations is that there is always a portion of income > 0 that goes to general expenses.


    The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
      So they didn't hire a PR lady yet, to quickly answer your emails?

      Doesn't look like you ever donated for any Perl version.
