We are thinking hard about the non-profit we want to start to fund #sfba services. (After OCF’s shutdown announcement this has become our number one priority.)
If you know of online communities that run such a model successfully, please give us a hint!
If you have ideas about things to consider when planning non-profit memberships, governance, votings, etc. please tell!
We want to keep overhead low, so we can focus on our community and don’t get buried in bureaucracy. We want to continue focusing on the San Francisco Bay Area.
@seb Once the 503(c) designation is in place, check out TechSoup (https://www.techsoup.org/nonprofit-software). They offer steep discounts on software and cloud services. For example, you can get $1000 in AWS service credits for a $95 admin fee. Might be other offers that help with your hosting…
@seb I know @evan and others have been running a coop-based instance in Canada, and would likely have great advice. They seem to share a lot of your values and goals for sfba.social .
