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?

Is there not a way to put this money toward making the fediverse/beehaw situation work? I know you can't just throw money at problems to make them go away, but I can't help but feel as though there must be some way to use the money on making fedi work for beehaw long term.

As an aside, I've been absolutely dying to donate to the beehaw project because it provides me a lot of value but have been holding off because the continued existence on the fediverse has been up in the air
