O.K., I am moving this to the c4lj-discuss list, since that's what we've done in the past, and so others, especially anyone working on the Code4Lib fiscal continuity can see/comment.

I have gone back through emails from EBSCO to see where this stands.  The most recent message I can find was about 3 years ago, copied below.  TL;DR, we need an address and a Tax ID.  I will try to make contact with EBSCO again, and see if there is a way we can redirect the royalties.

Hi Carol,

 

I apologize for the delay. We don’t currently have any method of donating royalties to another organization of your choosing.

I forwarded your first email to the account manager who will get in touch with you about adding an amendment which would waive royalties, if that is something you would prefer.

Or, we can continue to hold royalties if you think there is a possibility of obtaining a tax id in the future.

 

Regards,

Karen

Dear Ms. Weeden,

 

We haven't heard back, so I am just checking to confirm you received the email below.

 

Thanks,

Carol

Dear Ms. Weeden,

 

Jodi Schneider has not been on the Editorial Committee of the Code4Lib Journal for several years.  As you may be aware, the Journal is not set up on the same model as for-profit publishers.  We did not have a tax id in 2010, and we still do not have a tax id.  In fact, we have no way to process payments at all.  

 

The Editorial Committee had discussed possible options in the past for these funds, but evidently no one followed up with EBSCO.  Would it be possible to donate this money to another organization of our choosing that could receive the funds?  

 

Looking forward to hearing back on possibilities,

 

Carol Bean

It doesn't seem that there is anything official yet, but we should at least monitor how things are progressing, if not reach out to the people looking into "Fiscal Continuity".

Gotta be something named Code4Lib.
Tried to get them to donate/give to, e.g., Bibliocommons on our behalf. Nope.

Oh god yes we have Ebsco money, that they will only turn over to a legit organization. Pretty sure it's over $500 by now. They send us (or maybe it's just me at this point) requests periodically to disburse the money.

EBSCO responded, and we will probably have a phone conversation sometime next week about renewing/renegotiating the agreement.  Who should I talk to in the meantime in the fiscal continuity community?  I'm hoping we can maybe coordinate efforts, or at least share information. :)
