Sooo, they pay you US rates for your consultancy?

No, we're all volunteers and we raise money for projects. What I mean is that we don't hand out money. We work alongside the community on each project.

Charity.

But the best kind, the kind that may actually work long-term (as long as "raise money" means voluntary donations, and not some sort of taxation).

[rtpg]

Not trying to be snarky, but are you implying that raising money through taxation would somehow not make this work?

[Tycho]

I think he's saying that if the money is raised through taxation then it's not charity.
