I am a founder and I do have a board seat (1 of 8), but we explicitly govern by consensus and so I do not hold a rank higher than another other member (and as Exec Director, and an employee, I am explicitly forbidden by our CoI policy, and by law, in some instances from participating in votes in which I hold a financial, or other significant, interest). See:

It was explicitly an unrestricted donation: https://www.zfnd.org/blog/open-privacy-donation/ - and I have already linked our 2019 End of Year report.
The Foundation’s donation to Open Privacy was unrestricted, meaning that the organization can use the funding for any of its programs and activities.
