  • @manassehkatz has already answered what you're directly asking about here, in how the organisation is financed. But there's also this:

  • So, to clarify, here's the organisational structure as of 2020-07-03:

  • As for _hosting_, we have a small server on the AWS free tier under a Codidact organisation account that holds our development instance and runs other services we need. The sites themselves are hosted on my own AWS server - one I'd be paying for whether or not Codidact was on it, so I'm not fussed about whether it's costing me or not.
  • Like manassehkatz said, we've been looking at ways to legally form an organisation; once we've done that, we'll be able to accept donations more transparently. The best we could do now would be to trust one person with a PayPal account and ask for regular reports, which isn't ideal.
