Hello wonderful DAF backers! 

Many of us are new to the Open Collective platform, and we're grateful for any extra effort it may have taken to become a DAF contributor. The terms of engagement dictate that nothing about the predicament we face shall be simple - and certainly it would be a relief to find that navigating a new website were the hardest thing we're up against. 

This is simply a small note of appreciation. Giving generously and receiving humbly both take practice. DAF gratefully accept gifts of every size and in return offers heartfelt appreciation. Whatever is to come is yet to be discovered, but today we know for sure that the DAF community has more funding available with which to nurture connections and collaboration and see what emerges as a result.

We sign off for now with our sincere thanks for the support. Sending love and affection to all.
