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?

Yeah, I agree. You never know when you'll need the money for an emergency, so I think it makes sense to hold onto the funds for unexpected expenses in the future.
