@Discoursecurious we are also a small not-for-profit community with no organized income source. Right now, we are simply relying on donations from certain users who have volunteered to donate and are powerfully vested in our success. I find it likely that at some point soon we will also need to solicit donations from the community, so I am curious what you end up deciding to do, how you do it, and how it goes.
I honestly thought about something as simple as BuyMeACoffee or just setting up a dedicated venmo/paypal for the group.
What would really be awesome is if Discourse had a donation plug-in that could facilitate contributions from community members directly into that community’s account with Discourse. This would maintain anonymity and remove any individual modmin from the responsibility and scrutiny of accounting. And it would be easy to track. #FeatureRequest
