"Unfortunately, the GNOME Foundation has not published any data in close to two years."
No, not "unfortunately". The reporting cycle of not-for-profits means that currently, the 2022 annual report is what you can get. That's definitely stupid, but AFAICT, that's a fact for all not-for-profits. (It certainly is for all the ones I look at)
And yes, 2020/21/22 sucked for all not-for-profits in terms of income, because donor schmoozing was hard.
As for "no interviews, no articles" - yeah. Kind of expect that. Because that's not how fundraising works. Your first communication goal is major donors willing to write large checks, not the general public who might throw you fifty cents.
That doesn't mean they're necessarily doing a competent job over at the GNOME foundation - that time lag in reporting could hide a lot of sins. But that article isn't dripping with competence, either.
