I’ve run a nonprofit for almost 3 years now and we always hit really hard decisions on ethics. I’m curious what Twitter thinks about these problems, would people be interested if I shared them as they come?

In just 6 days, our new for-profit wing of GiveCard raised 10x more funding than the non-profit wing has raised in the last 4 years combined. This resource difference makes staying solely nonprofit really hard to justify.
