#### Thank You

One week ago today we requested donations and support to fund this project and we weren’t sure how the request would be received. 

As of today, we are pleased to announce that we have reached our fundraising goal of $25,000 USD equivalent!

The team is truly touched by the support we have received, and we are working hard to ensure that the voting portal will be live by launch. The EOSPortal team would like to extend a sincere thank you to the EOS community for your support!

#### Allocation of Funds

The $25,000 which was raised will be used to pay developers, designers, and cover the back-end costs of EOSPortal.io for at least one year. 

#### Costs
Labor: Using a rate of $90 USD per hour, ~25 hours per team member is $19,000
Hosting and back-end costs: $6,000 for one year

#### Excess Funds
Any additional funds will go toward future feature implementations.
