The good news? We've just finished the first milestone in turning tech-artists.org into a legal nonprofit! This is going to help ensure the stability and longevity of the site and the community.
The bad news? We've only got a couple of months of hosting left. Plus, if we want to get full tax-exempt status – which will make it easier for us to do things like get discount hosting for our online chat, or offer educational programs – we need to raise about the equivalent of a full year's hosting costs to cover the IRS filing fees.
So … how about hitting the tech-art tipjar to help keep the site up and healthy?
