More visibly non-profit
There is a box in the right hand panel of most Codidact pages showing information related to Codidact:
The first paragraph says:
This community is part of the Codidact network. We have other communities too — take a look!
Would this be a good place to mention that Codidact is non-profit:
This community is part of the non-profit Codidact network. We have other communities too — take a look!
This would look like this:
Since this does not wrap onto a new line, this takes up no additional space.
Currently it is not clear to new visitors that Codidact is non-profit unless they choose to click on the link. I'd like this distinguishing factor to be more visible.

We've fixed this by fixing the underlying issue that made this change not as trivial as it first seemed.
That text was, it turned out, baked into our code -- fine for us, but not appropriate for other deployments. We've moved this text into a global (admin) setting, and then updated that text here to add our non-profit status. Going forward, this text will now be easier for us (and everyone else!) to adjust if needed.
Meanwhile, the default value is now "...part of a network of communities...", linking to the dashboard. Even a deployment that only has one community has a dashboard, so that link still works, and people in that situation can just pop into Global Site Settings and change or even remove the text.
