I have given that some thought in the last several hours. Okay, this is not from an expert, so what we would have here is basically a supportive organization. It will support other organization's work in the fields of space and energy. ( Kardashev's Riddle).
Here are two non profits, at this point, that I feel like supporting. 1) Focus Fusion Society (more about FFS), and 2) The Space Show. Of course, I could contribute to these on my own. At this point, I have made no personal contribution to either of these. I have, however, bought a few books after listening to one of Dr. Livingston's broadcasts. I suppose I could just support it with my own donations, but I feel that I can do more by doing this and using this as a platform to raise money for these two organizations and others that I may choose later.
The support that I can lend is quite modest as this blog, as I have pointed out several times, has only a very small audience. In addition, I am on a tight budget myself. I hope that this blog can become more popular and could become a more significant contributor in the future.
There are other considerations, such as how to set up this thing up. That is, the nuts and bolts of handling the money. As I have written earlier, my preference is that it be as simple as possible. That means if it costs me a lot of time and effort just to set this part of it up, I may abandon the idea. So, a lot depends upon whether or not I can do this the way that I would like. For example, I don't want the bank to use this as an opportunity to charge me a lot of money to handle these funds. And so on and so forth. I have a fear that other folks out there think that, just because this is a corporation, that it can be their own cash cow.
I want as close to 100 percent of the funds going for its intended purpose as possible. Since, in the beginning, these funds could be very limited, or even non existent, I would prefer that it at least not to lose money. Even that may be asking too much. We shall see.
