yep, this.
My other comment is that our org can typically pay invoices, but not make
donations nor become legal "members". Hopefully the sustainability model
could account for this.

For example, the CNS switch has 3x10Gbps ports connecting to the main MICE switch. The five CNS end users pay $1,000 each, this covers the $3,000 cost of the three ports to the CNS switch. If CNS has only two users paying $1,000 each, then CNS would owe $1,000.
