How will the non-profit be funded? Do you think you'll be able to sustain yourself working at a non-profit?

(serious question. A lot of us want to work at non-profits, but find it to be not a realistic choice since it doesn't pay enough to survive, wondering how others are able to do it)

I haven't really figured that part out, which is why it'll happen in "a while." Getting Grants and private investment from the demos I can build after work are the most likely scenario.

Even if I can't do it full time, I can do it when I can. Right now, I'm working on these ideas about one night per week.

Many non-profits pay perfectly fine living wages.
