Bit of a shot in the dark, however I'm considering starting a UK based #notforprofit that is going to require ongoing #funding and not really sure where to start.

I've mentioned the idea to friends and colleagues and it seems it might have merit, however I think that the #fundraising is going to be the tricky bit, whether that's #crowdfunding, #grants or #corporate #sponsorship.

If anyone is hooked in to this system and can offer some advice, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you.

What #Podcast streamer do folks use? Hoping to find a #notforprofit or #democratic streaming platform as I dive into the world of podcasts.

What gets posted to the Inter-Web stays on the Inter-Web - FOREVER! Apparently Mr. Musk has not learned this lesson.

Discussion about converting OpenAI to a for-profit entity started in 2016, and Musk flip flopped live in court saying “We are not pursuing AGI right now" he recently posed on X “Tesla will be one of the companies to make AGI.” https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/29/on-the-stand-elon-musk-cant-escape-his-own-tweets/ #OpenAI #AI #AGI #Lawsuit #ForProfit #NotForProfit #Internet #Tweets #SocialMedia

Why are we farting around and bailing out failed enterprises anyway. They fail because too much $$ has been taken out of them until the kitty runs out. And whose responsibility is that? Not the public that’s for sure. So why bail them out?

Instead, let’s #Nationalise the bloody paupers. With #NotForProfit status, these same #FailedEnterprises would survice and provide much needed jobs and supply independence to the Australian economy. Of course, such a move would mean the #Rats have no where to go but jump ship and look for #scraps elsewhere — good ridance. Still, it would not be a bad message to put out there: In Australia, if you cannot run a business and keep it afloat long term, well, we don’t want your investment. In turn it would provide a very reliable market for future long term investments rather than current speciulative short term pillaging exercises.

That’s my take. And all of it is feasible in a Capitalist system for any Constitutional Democracies.

Like this line from The Revolution Will Not be Funded: Beyond the Non-profit Industrial Complex, edited by INCITE!

‘Do you think the system is really going to fund you to dismantle it?’.

Should be adopted as a motto.

Gave Nextdoor their first weekly update.

Already received very well-meaning advice telling me how to monetise this by charging local businesses for ads/features.

I'm taking it as a good sign that the website is useful, and an opportunity to educate people that not everything has to be a money-making scheme and we can just build things for the good of the community 🌼
