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).

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.
