We are currently a volunteer collective, essentially an unincorporated non-profit, which means we’re like a simple lemonade stand with big dreams!

Historically, our operating expenses have been paid out-of-pocket by one of our co-founder, Cale Livingston, and have included:

• The website URL (domain name)
• The Pro Zoom Account (to remove meeting time limits)
• Website Hosting & Theme (for this very website!)

It is our mission to practice full financial transparency so that financial supporters know exactly where their money is being spent.

As of 2025 we are using Buy Me A Coffee (a micro-fundraising platform) to handle our donations.

We actively work to keep costs as low as possible, and to model how non-profits work as best we can.

In the meantime, however, we are more like Youtubers with a Patreon – hosting some live events and creating educational content, rather than a tax deductible charity.

We say all this so you know exactly what we are, and what we aren’t, and have the details you need to make a decision about whether to donate. We try not to solicit often, and people are welcome to enjoy the group’s work without any expectation of a donation.

In the event that we accrue a surplus, the group has pitched a handful of ways the money can be allocated:

• Divvy up the remaining amount proportionally to all group facilitators for the calendar year
• Earmark a certain amount for potential guest speaker honorariums
• Incorporation fees to become an official non-profit
