It all goes in the same bank account. It might be that Yasme Foundation,
the ARRL Foundation, or ARDC inadvertently gave the money for this. They
would be upset if they did. In which case that might provide one reason
that their latest grants are to ORI.

So, we might say it's some hundreds of memberships, or 1/2 Yasme grant or 8
ARRL Foundation grants, or 150 President's Circle Basic contributions or  a
piece of our US Government forgivable loan.

But it's all the same money, in the same bank account. We can't really wave
hands about whether it is memberships, donations, or grants, or the
loan to *paper
over the impact of this money being spent unwisely.*
