You can't make something out of nothing. If your favourite #nonProfit likes to pay their #president almost one million USD per year and around four million USD to Jeff B. you need to get money from somewhere. I do pay far more than 2.99 USD or even 3.49 € for my preferred #chat application 🤷 But at least it's free and federated, does not run on AWS, and does not require Android or iOS. #Jabber #XMPP #digitalSovereignty

Clearing roadblocks in the way of firing up a color furnace. I am consulting with Mike, who melts color at a big public glass studio in Brooklyn in Gowanus, and for another factory in West Virginia. I know I want a dark, ambery brown. We are going to get 100 pounds of Sprucr Pine "color base" - all the raw ingredients for the HotShop glass- minus the decolorants. We plan on using some of sulfur, black charcoal, and sugar along with a touch of black nickel to darken it up along with a few other things to tint it. I CNDd a thick scrap of MDF to make a lid for the cement mixer- which Mike mentioned is one of the best ways to mix it up- essential for proper glass. I also cleaned it from refractory cement with hammer, chisel and power washer. The furnace burner still needs to get its gas/air ratio set with a test firing, and I gotta find a time to rent 2 workstations (it's in the corner between them) #color #glass #residency #mixing #colorpot #neon #CNC #nonprofit #sculpture

I've been involved with non-profits as a volunteer, in governance, and in leadership since about 2011. I've noticed something fairly consistent during that time: Funding for sector support, general operations, sector capability, system-change, and advocacy is consistently denied. Funding for one-off projects, direct support to a community, and even individuals needing crisis funding attracts a lot of money (comparatively). This aligns with the idea of removing 'back-end' admin and prioritising frontline services. We've seen it in this government's approach to things such as healthcare. But it also means that the system is brittle. Well-supported sectors are flexible and can grow, adapt, and improve, collaborative work can be coordinated at scale. Funding frontline-only is all about treating symptoms and removes this collective perspective. In terms of optics it is simple and understandable to most people. It feels good and easy to grasp the benefits (and TBF it very often *is* doing good). But it's also neo-liberal economics applied to social work - it fragments people into special causes, ensures the system is never challenged seriously, and erodes collective effort. Anyway, just had a funding application denied for sector capability. Feeling a bit salty. #Charity #NonProfit #Funding

A unique public-private endowment has long shielded Nebraska's cultural scene from federal budget cuts. But a massive state deficit is putting its future in jeopardy.

I'm excited to announce that @dan@discuss.systems and I have been working on a new non-profit, Rootstock Northwest, with some folks in the local food industry: https://rootstocknw.org

We have three goals:

  1. Give fresh produce to the food insecure in our communities.
  2. Support local producers and farmers to invest in our community food chain
  3. Deliver direct to homes to make fresh, local food accessible for all and minimize overhead.

We believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, high quality food and that we can simultaneously feed our communities and support local food chains by delivering produce to directly to those in need. With the current government instability, it is more important than ever to ensure the most vulnerable are fed and that our local food ecosystems are strengthened.

A group in Los Angeles is ensuring that the city’s famous beaches retain enough nature to protect wildlife and the city from harsher storms. “Your beach is still your beach, only better.” That was Tom Ford’s message to any Angelinos who might be indignant at the sight on his nonprofit staking out and roping off […] The post 8 Acres of Rewilding Completed Along Santa Monica Coastline: ‘It’s Still Your Beach, Only Better’ appeared first on Good News Network.

Slate Magazine | Elon Musk Is Probably Going to Lose the OpenAI Case by Tony Ho Tran AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. El Elon Musk, a co‑founder of OpenAI, has sued the artificial‑intelligence firm and its leaders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman for allegedly abandoning its original nonprofit purpose in favor of profit, seeking over $130 billion in damages, the removal of the executives and a return to a pure nonprofit structure. While the trial in Oakland is massive and costly, experts doubt Musk will win, noting he lacks regulatory authority and that no contract obligates OpenAI to stay nonprofit forever. Observers argue Musk’s real aim is not legal victory but a highly public platform to embarrass his former collaborators, expose internal communications, and reshape the narrative around OpenAI’s success—a venture that has outgrown his influence with products like ChatGPT that rival his own technological enterprises.
