Decision to make:

Initial Funding Structure for Wibblur

Driver: @Jakob Heuser (jakobox#7777)

Approver: @Rudy Fraser (shacqeal#1334)

Consulted: Taylor (borderless#1759), @Damon, @Sam/Angel (Aveta#1694)

Informed: #team-b-chat (via @Jakob Heuser) & #team-a-chat (via TBD)

Background:

As part of our critical path, we need a way to transparently pay individuals for their labor, as well as take in funds from those able to support the development of this collective / community / company. While this does not solve every problem, it is a reversible decision that allows us to move forward with the processing of financial support.

Prior Art:

Distribute Aid - family of orgs as tools that serve specific purposes (main org is a swedish charity, fiscally hosted by Open Collective Foundation in the US, etc) (note)
Bluesky’s PBLLC structure - Uses the public benefit llc structure (note)
Altair.tv’s b-corp structure - C-Corp that used the b-corp certification for public benefit
Open Collective’s Public-Private Model (c-corp > exit to community for the platform + 501c3 Open Collective Foundation as the example instance for fiscal hosting) (note)
Papertree.earth - c-corp structure (social enterprise used by nonprofits) (note)
