| The Tessel project is a member of the Bocoup Foundation, which handles its public funds. These funds are generated in a few ways: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. We receive royalties from our manufacturing partners, usually a few percentage points of each product sold. | ||
| 2. We generated money through Amazon referral links for hardware, for example [our hardware modules](http://github.com/tessel/hardware-modules) recommendation list. |

| The Tessel Project has no payroll and is staffed entirely by volunteers. We approve the use of funds by vote of the Steering Committee. Funds are allocated broadly for a few uses: | ||

| 1. Server hosting and domain names. | ||
| 1. Purchasing of hardware directly from manufacturing partners for use in hackathons, advertisements, conferences, or direct engagement with customers or team members. Expenses of this type can be submitted through the [Open Collective page](https://opencollective.com/tessel) |
