Beehaw has a huge surplus of money. Could we use it to fund another service? (beehaw.org)

Our current balance is around $6000 and the average monthly cost to keep us running is $250.

If you'd like to take a closer look at our finances, then you can do it here -> https://opencollective.com/beehaw-collective

All of that being said, is there another service that the Beehaw community could provide with the extra funds?

One example could be to establish a Nonprofit Corporation (501(c)(3)) to create a legally recognized nonprofit with a clear charitable mission: education, health services, housing, etc.

the Beeple are very passionate about this particular server. I think other servers have a lot of folks that would be fine with jumping to a new server if they had to, but i cannot really speak to that.

That makes sense as Beehaw is very friendly.
