2M in comp distributed between 4 people is not a lot at this scale in my opinion.

For a nonprofit?

>>philjo+h2
A nonprofit doesn't mean it's a charity.

>>jefoza+(OP)
It is for a non-profit asking for donations. If they want half a mill salaries, they should become for-profit instead.

>>jefoza+(OP)
we ought to be well past this, if they want to be donation based they need efficiency.

it's possible to run this from, let's say, Andalusia, and hire competent folks for a fraction of this.

The beauty of non profits is everyone thinks they're staffed with saints, when the truth is far less beatific.

>>theshr+I4
Profit or non-profit is not about paying market rates. Even non-profits have to pay reasonably competitive salaries to attract and retain good employees.

>>tylers+Q8
Yeah but half of these should be competitive enough. Come on.

>>anjel+D6
Absolutely. A former student of mine worked for a non profit in Afghanistan (his home country) for a few years. Said non profit was flying in McKinsey consultants for very short gigs at six figures (USD).

Same can be said about many LGBT non profits that have shifted their goals in the developed world on the "T" part of the acronym. On countries where marriage equality is a given, no one is going to fund an NGO focused on gay marriage... so they need a new cause to fight for.

>>morava+Kg
to me this smells transphobic but it's possible the trans genocide several US states are working on made me oversensitive

>>tylers+Q8
Competitive is just fine and even expected, but competitive vs FAANG? Seriously?

>>Eduard+J2
A nonprofit asking for donations because of <good cause>? What is the definition of a charity then?

>>Eduard+J2
> 501(c)(3) tax-exemptions apply to entities that are organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes, for testing for public safety, to foster national or international amateur sports competition, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals.

Signal foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3). It is literally and legally a charity.

How is it transphobic to say organizations focused on LGBTQ shifted their alignment for the one part that isn't widely accepted in developed because others for the most part are?

>>lannis+au1
Its a transphobic conspiracy theory to say, as moravak1984 explicitly did upthread, that they did it for money not because its an actual real issue where they perceive an injustice, whereas the issues where they've already won, and thus are shifting some attention from, are not, or less so, specifically because they have succeeded in shifting the situation on the ground.

>>dragon+Xv1
Why is it transphobic? Is it not possible for an organization to do something for money? I am not accusing any particular organization of doing so, but it absolutely should be a legitimate concern/question.

In fact, I would consider it transphobic to not call out organizations with ulterior motives.

>>lannis+au1
The reply to my suspicion was so transphobic it got removed. I can smell these people from a mile away. Fragments of it survive in >>38301956

>>Ferret+bm3
The reply to my suspicion from the same person was so transphobic it got removed. I can smell these people from a mile away. Fragments of it survive in >>38301956

>>chx+gj4
My reply was calling out your ridiculous and hyperbolic claims of "genocide", and examining the reality behind the euphemism.

>>unsung+gi1
Charities aren't charities in the colloquial sense of the word. It's not a truly altruistic collaboration of volunteers giving their time to help a cause.

Non-profit simply means that every bit of revenue made goes back into the company instead of given out to shareholders. Which includes paying your labor.

It being a non-profit is exactly why we can view the operating expenses and salaries of the public facing executives. For accountability.
