Currently, we have $6,500.91 in our hopper.

It just seems weird having all of those, mostly, unused funds sitting there doing nothing.

I just wanted to start the conversation about the possibility of paying-it-forward in some capacity. For example, a certain percentage of monthly contributions could go to a charity.

What are your thoughts?

    I’m not sure if the Admins are paid, but it would be good to have paid admins, who also help post unique content too.

    None of the admins have profited financially from donations meant for Beehaw. You can see this per the expenses on OpenCollective.

    While I think it could be nice, we don’t have nearly enough to provide anyone a salary.

    Or a meetup event to meet other Beehaw users (here in australia of course)

    But the emus will get our lunch :(

      Maybe not a salary… But, maybe a small contribution to each admin on a rotating cycle each month as thanks? As in general, I find volunteers of things never get the thanks they deserve, and long term, eventually, it takes a few small things and it becomes a slog.
