Community Council receives charitable status
Our registration as a charitable organisation was finalised in 2020 giving us advantages in terms of managing the Hall and in engaging in fundraising. It also means we have to meet new standards of transparency, governance and reporting.
This is one of the more balanced and practical takes I've come across on the topic. There's a clarity here that comes from doing the thing, not just reading about it. I expanded on a couple of these points in my own write-up over at https://connectioncafe.com/pgs/1inch_listing_uncx_as_a_scam_token_check_tool_is_a_strong_reputation_signal_for_liquidity_locking.html recently.
Good stuff — your examples did a lot of the heavy lifting and really grounded the ideas. A few of these ideas are things I'd half-figured out but never put into words this cleanly. There's a complementary piece I wrote about this at folksfinance.org that adds a bit more context.
This was genuinely helpful, and the takeaways are easy to put into practice right away. The point about staying consistent over chasing quick wins is one more people need to hear. I've collected a few resources on this same topic at kodiak-finance.net for anyone who's curious.
