Martin Nutty<p>5) Something is not adding up here. The 501(c)(3) filings for 2024 are not yet available.

way°i°am<p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/notforprofit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>notforprofit</span></a> lately I've become convinced that not for profit companies are the solution to capitalistic market abuse. Why can't we have non profits not just for hospitals, professional associations, and opera companies, but also for cellular infrastructure, retirement savings, road building, and other areas of public good. Does it already exist? Does it just not work? Does capitalistic industry sabotage it? Can someone educate me? Particularly from a Canadian point of view.</p>

Jody Hughes<p>Maybe, as I find myself at a bit of a crossroads, I should grasp the opportunity to choose something more vital to do with the rest of my life. Like destroying fossil fuel infrastructure, or something. <br><a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/CareerCounselling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CareerCounselling</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/NotForProfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NotForProfit</span></a></p>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>I am on a few volunteer non-profit Society boards... it can be tiring sometimes, but overall it's always good to be connected to people you'd not automatically be connected to through life/work. You end up doing things or being a part of things you probably value and it feels good. Highly Recommend.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/NotForProfit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NotForProfit</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Volunteer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Volunteer</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Community</span></a></p>
