Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action? (beehaw.org)

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?

And thats the thing. I don't need merch in return personally..

There's plenty of community funded radio stations out there, and all you get is a sticker sometimes (you don't neccessarily do it for merch, but a sticker would be cool actually).

I'm just tired of toxic Social networks and news sites. I'm tired of news sites too which focus 100% on celeb gossip than normal people.

So, I think it would be a cool way to improve the network, improve morale amongst the mods and allow the system to scale well without mods feeling unappreciated
