- Currently, the expenses of Codidact (primarily web hosting) are paid for directly by volunteer contributors or their employers. No corporate sponsored hosting has any advertising or other strings attached, and everything will be handed over to the Codidact organization when properly set up.
- The expenses are very low at this time but are expected to grow as the site usage increases over time. In order to properly raise funds, without any tax implications for the volunteers, Codidact requires a formal, legal non-profit (or equivalent, varies by jurisdiction) organizational structure with appropriate government registration. Once this is done, we plan to have limited fundraising to pay for hosting and other costs.
