If everyone with an attitude like this gave up a cup of coffee, and donated just $5, the games finances would be rocking. Thats 45min salary for a McD worker.

As a non-profit, can't money be raised in other ways, or is that a fine line on profits?

Could you clarify?

I know this thread has been dead for a few months, but I believe what he means is that as a Non-Profit, you can look towards companies/corporations/persons to donate large sums of money. For example, you could ask some well-off game Studios to toss you a few thousands as a donation and as a registered NPO, they might be inclined because they could write it off as a donation on their taxes and whatnot. Or you could contact your local community college and offer to send them your code base so that any programming (or game programming/design) classes could play around with it and then that community college (or you could go with a more traditional university) may become inclined to toss you a nice donation.


Essentially, what he means, is that you should play the NPO game and fund raise.
