Yes Samson, the SFC fulfills these criteria. I am sure we would qualify. But as Adam says, let's sort out what we want to do first before going to the SFC. First step is a donor link which lands on their page with SL as prefilled choice.
I suggest we try to go for Google Ad Grants, but this requires work (e.g. which keywords, and what our marketing goals are - fundraising for example). I suggest we skip the low-revenue random-ad approach and work on our calls to action (these are really "our own ads" that pop up during video plays). Again we need to decide what our marketing objectives are - I think fundraising is an excellent first step. We can also do developer recruitment, new-software marketing, etc. To start a fundraising drive, we need the community to be behind a common shared vision.
