RE: Making it Rain: How Various Sums of Money Could Positively Impact Cultural Nonprofits

RE: Where There's a Will, There's a Way: Creating a Document Directing Deaccessioning Upon a NonProfit's Demise
That's a fair point, but given they would be the ones writing it, I think they could work around it. An organization could write up something like this and still provide themselves with avenues for selling

RE: Another Five Project Ideas. Which One Should Be Awarded 3,000 STEEM?
