Dear @slothbuzz, sorry for our late reply.
The HiveBuzz project is more than "sending a few badges". We have a full team of people working for us (developer, web designer, graphic designer, community manager, translators, ...), and all those people do not work for free. The World Cup Contest for example required a month of preparation and the same amount for execution. And we do many more events throughout the year.
Funding such a project is exactly what the DHF was created for: supporting projects that help the Hive community, in our case by gamifying user activity and motivating them to stay committed.
Is there no way to monetise the Hivebuzz account to pay for costs?
We don't want to turn our project into something commercial that takes more from users than it gives them.
