The Nonprofit Journey Has Begun
As of today, I've officially filed the paperwork for the YouTube channel(s) and anything related to them to operate under an educational and scientific research nonprofit organization in the state of Georgia.
This includes a formal 501(c)3 application, meaning that, with a lot of luck, supporting the content will be tax deductible in the future for many of those reading this.
This will make any and everything transparent by law. It will also make me an employee who gets paid the same whether I like or dislike a product, or whether a video performs well or poorly.
I'll answer any questions in the stream this evening. Thanks for all the support!

As a student aiming to receive my "Certificate of Nonprofit Management", I look forward to seeing this stage of your journey.
Good stuff Benn!
Very interesting, Benn. I hope it all works out.
I missed this part of the stream. Sounds really interesting!
How (and when) can we join "the stream this evening" ??
Very cool! I'm excited to see you taking this huge step!
Curious if a (c)4 wouldn't be a better fit. Then it could include income from your Patreon (if that's desirable). I used to work with Funeral Consumers Alliance and our c3 organizations couldn't restrict benefits to members, but the c4 organizations could. Just throwing it out there, disregard if you've already covered this ground.
Awesome, hope the paperwork goes through smoothly!!
