Someone recently sent us an email asking if Liberapay could be used by a foundation to send a 6-months grant to a team, in a large one-time payment.
This is currently difficult as our system wasn't designed for that. (There's also the matter of the cumbersome identity verification when giving more than €2500 in a year, but that's a separate issue.Edit: this problem should no longer exist now that we're not using Mangopay anymore.)
Here are some ideas on how to improve:
Create a /%username/grant page in parallel to the existing /%username/donate form. The grant form would ask for a payment amount instead of a recurrent donation amount, i.e. the reverse of the normal donation flow.
Implement attributing the funds to the specific grant exclusively, so they don't end up funding another grant or a recurrent donation. This could be done in our DB (cash_bundles) or by using a separate wallet in Mangopay.
Add a grant transfer context and modify payday for that.
Under the hood this is technically close to implementing one-off donations (#415), but in the UI it would be different.
Related issues for the distribution side: #753 and #803.
